Marshall rushing attack; The Thundering Turd

Time to recalibrate back to the present. Cards face Marshall this Saturday in an eminently winnable game and a must-have in terms of Louisville bowl eligibility.

So I'm starting my opposition research on Marshall. And...they're flawed. First and foremost is their inability to rush the ball at all. Their leading back, Tron Martinez, rushed 7 times for 10 yards against Va. Tech last week. They finished, as a team, with six yards for the game in 24 attempts for a .3 average. Yeesh.

They are yet to rush for a TD this season. Look for Marshall to use the no-huddle frequently on Saturday; the only offensive success they had against the Hokies was when using the hurry up at the end of the first half, when they moved the ball downfield steadily and scored their only touchdown on the day.
