West Virginia - Marshall

[GoingGreen]

Marshall leading 14-3 in the 2nd quarter.

I don't feel very good right now, becuase literally no team I've rooted for has won since ND - Purdue last Saturday. I thought I'd root for WVU so I could break the streak, becuase it's an easy win, right? Well...

I hope your rooting for Michigan..

wow has footbal become pussified.. did anyone see those personal foul calls on West Virginia?? the second was nothing more than a good solid hit to break up a play... flag.

and don't give me helmet to helmet, if the offensive guy falls over towards the deneder the way that play happened how the hell do you NOT hit his helmet in some form?

 

[irishfan]

Marshall's D-line looks nasty. Hope they can win. A win over Michigan would get us ranked even one spot higher with WVU potentially losing.

 

[GoingGreen]

I hope your rooting for Michigan..

Maybe I should break out the reverse psychology.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Have had game on since early, but more of a background thing. Not so sure you could call this one an upset if Marshall wins. They look bigger, faster, and stronger. That 4th and 1 hold deep in their territory, then subsequent 96 yard TD after turnover on downs seemed to shake WV.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Why did I know Marshall would block that field goal?

 

[GoingGreen]

I'm rooting for Marshall now, becuase I want to see the upset.

NO! You can't do that! You can't flip like that! NO SIR!

 

[GoingGreen]

Touchdown Thundering Herd! 21-6 Marshall! (PAT Pending)

 

[GoingGreen]

NO! You can't do that! You can't flip like that! NO SIR!

I thought WVU would pulverise them, but Marshall is in this game (and it looks like they'll win it). So, I cheated.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

What a complete catastrophe of a series for WV after the Marshall TD.

 

[GoingGreen]

West Virginia is finished.

I can't think of any team in the Big East that deserves a BCS Bid.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Fumble WV at their own 16. WV has completely fallen apart. They can't handle the Marshall Dline. Touchdown by Marshall, or even a FG should put it away for Marshall.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Marshall is going to blow it with that extra soft D coverage. Way too soft, and then they let the deep pass go anyway. Geez. Way to blow it Marshall.

This last WV td is on the Marshall D coaching staff. Way to blow it.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

That Marshall defensive staff needs to submit resignations right now.

 

[GoingGreen]

21-21 after the WVU 2-pointer.

The curse of teams I root for continues.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

That was in no way a "comeback" by WV. It was Marshall playing 25 yards back to include lb's and GIVING WV 15-25 yards per play, then allowing the deep pass anyway. Geez.

That's what happens when you play a soft defense instead being aggressive like they were all night..

That was in no way a "comeback" by WV. It was Marshall playing 25 yards back to include lb's and GIVING WV 15-25 yards per play, then allowing the deep pass anyway. Geez.

I'll be pissed if ND does something like that this year.

 

[DirtySecret]

That's what you call a fucking choke job. Damn, that is far wrost than any of Weis era choke jobs.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Marshall FG attempt looked good to me. Oh well. This loss is 100% on the Marshall defensive staff.

Time for UTEP vs. Houston

 

[no.1IrishFan]

Wow that sucks! I was really pulling for Marshall.

 

[DirtySecret]

Marshall choked on apple sauce..

The only thing the prevent defense does is prevent you from winning. I don't know who came up with that, but it can never be said enough.

Didn't Lou say that on College Football Final the other day?

Yes.

West Virginia is finished.

Petard. Own. Hoisted! The DoomedDeer is right. Hang this one on the defensive coaching for Marshall.

Yeah, haha. When it's 21-6 in the fourth you usually think it's finished. The only way it won't be is if the team chokes big time (which they did).

RIGHT! You know with as much preparation and game planning that goes into college football these days, I'm still amazed that DC's are still implementing this style of defense. The myth that prevent defense is successful has been proven wrong time and time again.

You could see Doc Holliday's body language trying to will the time off the clock. He was ready to cry tears of joy at the 8:30 mark of the 4th. They blew a great win.
