Topic: MCGILL: YOUTHFUL HERD MEETS SENIOR-HEAVY UTSA IN DEFENSIVE BATTLE

[biggreenarms]

UTSA started 12 seniors on the weekend of Nov. 11, more than any other C-USA team that weekend.

Marshall? Well, the Herd started two seniors – both on defense – fewer than any other C-USA team last weekend.

UTSA’s 12 seniors edged out Southern Mississippi, which started 11 seniors last weekend. FIU (10) and UTEP (nine) also were near the top of the league in senior starters.

Not only did Marshall start the fewest seniors last Saturday against WKU – a 30-23 win – but the Herd started a league-leading five freshmen. Rice, which is 1-9 overall and 1-5 in conference play, also started five freshmen last weekend.

Injuries and defections can make you young, as they did last year.  We have 3 Freshmen starting on the O-line now.  For the first two games we had:  LT - S RS SR / LG - RS Jr / C - RS So / RG - RS Jr / RT - RS Fr.   Also had older folk in the secondary and at running back.   Wer'e 7-3, not one seems to be making excuses, just stating facts.

McGill is pop on all Herd forums but he better be careful pointing out we start only 2 srs.....they will be cussing him too.

Yep, it's a fact. Probably next year too.

When you have one of the highest attrition rates in the country, this happens.
