I'm a Marshall fan this year. And last year, really.
I'm a fan of really good football wherever I see it. Last year prior to the start of the year, based on the tape study I do of most teams, I just saw the potential for really damn good football in Marshall and so I became a fan, followed their performances. Liked what I saw and saw the potential for even better football this year...so I like them even more.
I want to see them put up against a high quality team in an access bowl because there are too many potentially good players on that team to ignore on the basis of who they've played. Devon Johnson looks like a genuine NFL prospect. Rakeem Cato looks like even more than that, to me. Darryl Roberts looks genuinely intriguing at corner. We've discussed Eric Frohnapfel and Chris Jasperse. Also hard to ignore James Rouse with his combination of leadership, quickness and that 6'5" & 270+ lbs frame of his. And though a sophomore, A.J. Leggett is also a good talent. And while we're speaking of down the road talents, Deon-Tay McManus looks damn impressive as a perimeter threat at 6'2" & 227 lbs. He's just a freshman and needs to learn to locate and adjust to the ball in the air better, but still...that's a lot of body, speed and talent.
I mean if I'm rooting for laundry then I'm rooting for the South Florida Bulls. But let's face it they haven't given me a ton to cheer for lately.
