Outcoached? Did you not see the **** show our OC decided to put on? UTSA absolutely dominated the game and they still needed a last second FG to win. I've never been more pissed after a win. I've lost all faith in this staff.

UTSA is garbage and Marshall proved they are even worse. UTSA offense could not score amd coughed up ball twice in the red zone. They gave Marshall the game on a silver platter. I left the game after Marshall scored. I eas certain UTSA choked away another game.

When you guys called your offense anemic in that other thread last week, I told you ain't seen nothin yet, lol.

Congrats UTSA, we in no way deserved to win. I actually felt bad when we finally scored, you guys dominated us. Glad it turned out like it did.

100% Worst offense in CUSA. Thankfully they are still the best defensive team. That is the only reason we win that game.

Trade you Stockstill?

Sure... send your qb right over. Litton is en route.

(But of know you mean the elder Stockstill)

My quick note to our AD.

Mike,

As I'm sure you are aware, I love Marshall and its sports programs, especially the football program. I believe they are an indispensable piece of the community, bringing pride and hope to an area that, quite frankly, doesn't have a whole lot to be proud of given the societal and economic conditions we face.

I have been blessed in life to make a decent living and, because I do believe in the value of Marshall and its athletics, have, and will continue, to support them. I am however gravely concerned about the current state and future prospects of the football program. Quite frankly the on the field product, primarily on the offensive side of the ball, is not what Marshall fans enjoy or have come to expect. I hear the frustration of the fans everywhere I go and discuss the team.

There is so much competition for entertainment dollars these days, it takes something extra to get people excited and to the stadium. I want to see the stadium full every bit as much the players, coaches and you do. They say winning cures everything, but I believe this year is a pretty good example of that not being the case. We had essentially nobody show up to support a 6-1 team.

A lot of folks, based on comments made out of the athletic department last year, thought significant changes were coming in regard to the offensive staff. That, obviously, did not happen. We retained an offensive co-ordinator that has produced an offense that has been ranked in the bottom half of FBS football in 5 of his eight seasons, three of those times outside of the top 100. To be frank, if not for Rakeem Cato, a very special talent, I'm not sure he would have ever produced an offense in the top half of the rankings. The fact that we play in the second weakest conference in FBS (based on all objective computer rankings) only magnifies our inadequacies on the offensive side of the ball.

Bottom line is that nobody likes to pay to watch paint dry, grass grow, or whatever analogy you want to use. Our 9-7 loss this evening, even if it had turned out to be a 7-6 victory, is only going to make attendance next week worse. Please help bring back "Marshall football" and the excitement that comes from being in the Joan with 28,000 instead of 12,000 actual fans in the stands.

Sincerely,
Go Herd!

Exciting finish. Congratulations UTSA. Two close home games in two weeks.

I actually like a good defensive game, even if it's partly because both offenses suck. lol

Good game though, Marshall. I couldn't believe it when you guys marched right down the field late, the way North Texas did. I was worried we were gonna throw away a 5th one-score game after you guys scored the only TD of the game. Luckily, there was time left on the clock for us to do our bidding this time.

For anyone who might've come down to San Antonio for the game, I hope you're enjoying your stay and that you'll have a safe trip back.

I don't really understand your comment though. You guys scored 158 points in the last 5 games prior to this one. We scored 103 in our 5 previous games. Your lowest output in your prior 5 games was 25 points, and our highest output in our prior 5 games was 26 points. Granted, we played different opponents, but against the only opponent we hold in common (FIU), you guys scored 30 (in losing by 11), and we scored 7 (in losing by 7).

Might want to check who was doing the scoring in a lot of our games this year. Defense and special teams have a bunch of points. Would have had 7 more tonight if they hadn't ripped us off on that fumble. The Miami game for instance we had two kickoff returns for TDs and a pick six. Had a pick six vs WKU last week, and our defense has given us some short fields. We have some long drives but they haven't resulted in points as often as they should.

Hotz ball beats Marshall, ruins my perfect week - aint even mad
