Way to early Conference Rankings
WEST[b]
North Texas
Rice
LA Tech
UTSA
USM
UTEP

EAST

Marshall
Western Kentucky
MTU
FAU
UAB
ODU
FIU


Ranked us kinda high, but I really think we have the talent and potential to compete at the top. However, I could see us also being at the bottom given our coaching situation. So middle works for me right now.

UTSA gets no respect. They seem to be the clear favorite in the West to me.

Mark your calendars for October 4th. It will be a Heinicke/Cato shootout in Norfolk.

RE: Way to early Conference Rankings
As long as UTSA's new QB is pretty good, I think they are the favorite to win the west. They return most of their players from a solid team, with QB being the main question mark.

Marshall is the clear favorite in the east. I would actually put FAU second in the east, WKU third, and ODU above UAB.

I don't really know enough about the west schools to really comment. I have no idea what was lost / what was gained.

We have a defense to go with our offense. We had two common opponents last year, Maryland 47 ODU 10, Marshall 31 Maryland 20. You passed for 170 against them no TD 3 int. Cato went for 337 3 TD no INT.


ECU, Marshall beat by 31 giving up 28 (really 20 not counting the late TD with our 3 defense against their 1 offense). You lost by 14 giving up 52.

So combined record, us 2-0 you 0-2. Combined score, us 90-48 you 48-99.


We'll see how it goes.

Your facts are correct, and I won't try to argue them. Obviously, the Herd will be favored, and Marshall should win, but I believe TH will have a good day, and ODU will put some points on the board. So I stand by my comment and expect a shootout.

Yep, we'll see how it goes -- here in Norfolk -- with the Herd on the road.

No disrespect intended. What you guys have done in a short time is very impressive, I just think you are still a couple of years away from a size and depth standpoint. You're long term potential is, I believe, the best in the conference.

We're fairly stacked on defense this year. We have 7 of our top 8 back in the defensive backfield plus added a 4 star transfer from VT and got back a part time starter from 2012 who was injured last year. We have every LB in our two deep back this year. We lost two starters on the defensive line and another part time starter (missed 9 games due to injury) but added a transfer from Miami who sat out last year. We added some highly recruited freshman, but I doubt any of them will see the field this year, too deep already.

Thanks for the good words. No disrespect felt and no offense taken. There is no doubt that this year you guys clearly will be fielding a very strong team, and your schedule presents a great opportunity for the Herd to have the best season in the history of Marshall football.

We picked up some pretty good JUCO help on defense this year and should be somewhat improved on that side of the ball. The D looked visibly improved during the spring game. The offense is in good shape as long as a couple of recuperating O-linemen stay on schedule and play at or near 100% come September. If not, we may have a couple of freshmen seeing a lot of time on the O-line. Either way, I think the offense will hold its on.

We are looking forward to seeing Cato and the Herd at Foreman Field in October. I'm believing it will be a track meet.

We have to go 14-0 and end up in the top 10 to have our best season ever. That's a tall task even with the schedule.

I'm coming down to the ODU game because I think it will entertaining also.

I think all concerns about our new QB1 have evaporated since spring workouts. Tucker Carter (SR) is the real deal and has been proving it with his arm and scrambling ability for several weeks now. Soza has a Saint status at UTSA but I dont think anyone who is a UTSA fan can deny that Carter is solid and brings a whole new element to our offense thanks to his arm and ability to throw accurately down the field

Interesting. You return most of your offensive line right? Lucky for us, we get you guys and North Texas at home.
