RE: 4 possible upsets
"Marshall @ Old Dominion-ODU has so much depth this year it makes most teams sick. RB Ray Lawry (1136 yards/11 TDs) headlines an offense with two capable QBs and a deep receiving corp lead by Sophomore Josh Dughart (8 TDs). Marshall has a good young QB in Chase Litton, but not much for him to work with. The Herd loses their top 4 rushers (1,772 yards combined) and has massive depth issues in the secondary and at QB. Most of the predictions at Marshall for a good season have more to do with name recognition than facts. Keep an eye on ODU, especially in this one!
Old Dominion 42
Marshall 38"

Id love to hear about our "massive depth issues" in the secondary. It is a strong point on the defense as it turns out. And Litton has some weapons, not as much as he will have next season, but sufficient.

We will be scary good next season, but will be a contender for a title this year and no way ODU beats us.

Must be the ODU beat writer. He got a summer's worth of clicks from the ODU fans with the ODU to the AAC nonsense. You have to give them what they want right?04-bow

No disrespect to ODU, I think they have a great team but this is still not the year that they beat us. Ya never know though.

I do kind of like that week 10 prediction. Who knows? Maybe by the time we get to week 10, a win by the Monarchs won't be considered to be an upset!

This guy is an idiot who either does ZERO research, or wrote this article last March and just now released it. I guess he's never seen Elijah Pittman run..or Foster for that matter.

And if this blithering little ignoramus thinks that we can't upset Louisville or Pitt, then he is the Betty Boop of "journalists".

Lousiville and Pitt are both projected to be really good this year. I'm slightly ignorant on Marshall, but I cant see how you guys make it a game with them.

Hey, just because this guy misnames junior Jonathan Duhart as sophomore Josh Dughart as leading our receiving “corp” [sic], and he does not even mention our leading receiver, Zach Pascal, that’s no reason to jump to the conclusion that he doesn’t know his stuff. He clearly has a firm grip on this upset thing!

Shouldnt have beaten us 2 years ago. But it happened -_-
There were just some games where we found a way to lose when we should have won, and could have won, in 2014.

We're still a year or two away from playing Marshall that close IMO. We'll settle for a more respectable loss this season

#@!% that... why settle? Beating Marshall is not out of the realm of possibility. Our defense didn't do a bad job last year at their place... our offense (or Marshall's Defense) kept us from being in that game. We could not move the rock.

RE: 4 possible upsets
By most national projections, Marshall is down this year. I don't follow them all that closely, but I'm seeing roughly 75th ranked in the nation, slightly behind Southern Miss. The game vs. ODU is directly after Marshall visits Southern Miss and before they play home to Middle Tennessee.

Are national projections wrong? If Marshall is around 75, they will only be about a touchdown favorite to ODU (assuming ODU is around 100-110ish)

I agree, but we'll have to move the ball to do it. Our offense was absolutely stymied by MU last year. Our D held their own I thought. If we hadn't given them such great field position the game might have been closer.

edit: If we were to upset them the score would be a lot lower than this guy is predicting.

We're on the same page ODUi. I see you updated your post with near the same thing I said in my reply. While I was typing.04-cheers

Looking at the stats they only had two drives for over 50 yds and punted 8 times.

ODU O-line needs to improve before they can compete with Marshall. The Herd lived in ODU's backfield last year and this years front 7 might be better than last.

This is true, but the running game was really successful against Marshall and Marshalls offense didn't do much against ODU's poor defense. Marshall outgained ODU only 324-285, but ODU had 4 turnovers.

Marshall was certainly the better team, but the difference in talent was way more prevalent two years ago.
