Topic: Inexplicably, Marshall opens -5 over USM

Who thinks that's gonna hold?

Honestly I think it’s fair. Pdunn I’m sure you probably know this, but for others, When USM played Tennessee the UT front 7 did whatever they wanted to them. Their front 7 has been average to below all year even in games to UMASS and Indiana St. what worries me is they have big WRs and they do like throwing the 50/50 ball. If we keep safety help over the top we’re fine. If they fly in trying to make a play in the run then it could be a long day. A lot will depend on gameplan, but i think we can stop the run and get to the QB. This is a good matchup for us.

Sounds right to me. I think they're roughly equal to UTSA so it makes sense after accounting for home field.

We win this game by 2 TD's. Senior day, players are circling the wagons against the evil fan base and Legg pulls out all the stops in his playbook to show Hamrick and Gilbert he needs to stay another year so we can win the league in 2018.

Went to -4 quickly

S. Miss is rushing the ball very well right now.  Best combo of tailbacks we will play this year.

But you can't win if you don't score.

Lol I’m so numb to Bill Legg I don’t even think about scoring anymore

The fans are so up in arms about our anemic offense I think we 'pull out all the stops' offensively.

With USM having 7 wins the 'conspiracy button' is dark / non-functional. But 14-32 is still the elephant in the room.
[EDIT: After reading banker's "96th" ( in total offense) post I predict we score an offensive TD on our 1st possession, and no later than 2nd possession]

USM probably has too much talent for a really comfortable Herd win, especially without Brady. I say maybe a high-scoring affair with the Herd winning 41-34. Predicting 41 points with Legg, some might question my sanity.

Consider it questioned, p2m!!  ;D

[herd2win]

Questioned...we score first...hold them on defense and then go to a 4 corners offense to run out the clock...

ESPN Match-up Predictor has us with a 66% chance of winning.

[CharlestonHerdGuy]

Just follow the patterns. We always lose in Texas, but we never lose at home in November. We beat Southern Miss.
