Side notes:
Did verify that Ellis is expected to play.
And Warren is "assumed" to be the #2 back.

My name is Mike Gwinn, managing editor over at HerdNation.com. Just wanted to drop in and invite you guys to stop by.
A little more info to add to the initial posting… The Herd is 139-25 (.848) at JCE Stadium all time. On the line this Saturday for Marshall is an 11 game home winning streak dating back to Oct 2012 and a 12 game regular season winning streak. The Herd has won 10 of their last 12 C-USA games.
Here are a few highlights from the 2014 season so far…
Marshall at Akron- http://youtu.be/SDBaonD4an0
Marshall vs. Middle Tenn- http://youtu.be/dfA7RwRVMBg?list=UUqtg0FdNZ5cTGELBGyCBgsw
Marshall at FIU- http://youtu.be/dGQoF4R4wHM?list=UUqtg0FdNZ5cTGELBGyCBgsw
For those attending Saturday be sure to visit the Memorial Fountain on campus and the memorial at the cemetery overlooking the stadium.
Food suggestions- check out the Marshall Hall of Fame Cafe near the downtown hotels or Fat Patty's near the stadium. There are also a number of chain choices at Pullman Square downtown.
Game Day Parking can be found around campus- http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/mars/genrel/auto_pdf/2014-15/misc_non_event/parking-map-14.pdf or in pay lots near the stadium.Posted On: Oct 20th 2014, 1:21 PM #336790
Don't know how many people follow other C-USA teams extensively on twitter, but HerdNation is one of the better ones.
Always solid coverage and information.
Welcome bud.
I love dropkicks and fat guy touchdowns.

Thats what we did last year and although the defense is under new management scheme is scheme and our secondary can play stout and disrupt the big play.
I think something that is being overlooked is how great the O-Line played last week and most of this year.
Aside from UTSA and Bama where they both grabbed three sacks a piece, our O-Line that consists of two true freshman, a redshirt sophomore, and a redshirt junior that has very little game experience has never allowed more than 1 sack in a game. All that considered this youth has still provided sufficient enough play to rush for at least 100 yards in every game except for Bama (And including 105 against Nebraska is a stretch, but whatever).
I know I loved seeing Howell carry the ball, but I hope we see some Jay Warren this week. I think the bench is the best motivator and I hope we can see a one-two punch that involves our young backs.
I am all for running back by committee, but our talent is clearly with our youth.
I am interested to see how the line continues to move throughout the week, but I guess we will see.
Until the next post.

Through 7 games the Herd offense has passed for 2,031 yards and rushed for 1,993 yards. Someone mentioned not allowing big plays earlier in this thread. That is a must for FAU to pull off a win at JCE Stadium. The Herd has 6 rushing plays of 50+ yards (3rd NCAA), 31 plays of 30+ yards (1st NCAA) and 55 plays of 20+ yards (1st NCAA).
Defensively, the biggest stat for the Herd is on 3rd down. Opponents have only converted 30.1% of the time. The Herd defense is giving up 201 yards passing, 135 yards rushing and 17 points per game.
It's easy to look at our schedule and think the success and stats are due just to it, but that would be a mistake.
