Underestimated ODU. They were very close to taking out Wake Forest, they already have a win in a conference and could easily be 3-1 right now.

The conference is going to be an absolute gauntlet.

So far I really tip my hat to you guys ODU, you came to play.

wOw, ODU . . . ..A&M Commerce was their version of The Trident.

Southern Miss may be in trouble next week .. ..

I don't know which is going to be more difficult, Cam Fancher not creating a turnover in the second half, or me being able to watch this game in my living room with my four daughters all creating chaos...

Biggest half of the season for ODU. If they win, they could go on a run. If they blow another three-possession lead, a third win is going to be hard to come by.

I think ODU would win the West right now.

If we can’t put some drives together Marshall is gonna win this one. Two long runs and taking advantage of a shot field have been our only scores.

Their DE, #4, was destroying us. He gets hurt, we score two quick TDs.

Cam seems like a good kid from what I have seen, but he’s not at a level that will lead us to championships. Not to disparage ODU, but a half like that by the D against any other team in the East is a guaranteed loss, and could still be one today.

Fancher just isn’t a guy that can throw you back into a game against the best teams in the conference. We saw that last year against Coastal. He can give you a good drive here and there, but if relied on too heavily he will make mistakes that stop a comeback.

Marshall has to get the lead first, but if this ends up being like last week's game with a close finish, I might need to consider looking for a cardiologist. It's too much, man.

Finally a lead!!!

MU 24
ODU 21

Defense needs a stop now to keep momentum rolling.

INT, that's what I'm talking about!!!

I just wish the first play after a turnover like that would be a shot to the endzone. And just like that, Cam Fancher throws away an opportunity, turnover #3 for Camey for those keeping track at home.

Interesting you noticed that. Morrison has been getting better each game.

Wtf is going on. Backwards pass scooped for 60 or so yards. Then a pick 6 the other way.

Pick 6, defense bails out Fancher once again.

Apparently neither team wants to win.

Thank you defense!

Reminds me of our WKU game 4 years or so ago. Just madness.

What a nutty game.

And just like that, it's a one score game. Once again the defense gets gashed on a big play. Two FREAKING runs of 60 plus yards. I guess it's official, Marshall defense has the RUNS.

ODU football, while not always getting W's, is at least always entertaining. At least if you're a football sicko

This has turned into a slugfest. Makes for an entertaining watch in most cases.

For whatever reason, this just feels really frustrating. It's like the door was left open for them to waltz back in.
