Yeah, I actually had quit watching the game in despair, but decided to check in one last time. Then I saw that Marshall was about to go up 28-6 and just about turned it back off before the fumble which changed the game. That was bizarre.

The real question is where was the WVU offense at all game? Six points all game long and then all of a sudden they reel off 15 points in the final few minutes? Of course, Marshall's defense was playing pretty soft, it seemed, which was probably a mistake.

Marshall has generally played WVU pretty close. Last year's game was close until towards the end. The year before was not close, but the year before that Marshall actually led WVU at the half, if I recall right, and that was the year WVU almost went to the National Title Game.

You are correct... Marshall was up at half the first MU home game of the series. That was Devine's freshman year I think... Which 2nd half the Slaton/Devine 1-2 punch was just way too much for the undersized Herd.

I do believe you are also correct about the 1 game away from a National Championship year. Pitt and a stud running back by the name of McCoy ruined that stuff though.

I'm hoping Holliday brings in strong recruits like he did for the Mountaineers. My only question is this... Holliday has coached for 30 years, why is he just now getting a head coaching job? It makes you wonder... ya know?

I can not believe I signed with Texas. I thought I'd sign with an out of state school. Good job going 7-0 so far let's see if you'll be able to go undefetaed.
