Game Week Thread: FAU @ #22 Marshall - 10/25/14 @ 3:30 PM

What was Nebraska ranked when we played them, # 20? Marshall is now # 22. I personally can't put Marshall in the same range of talent as Nebraska. Just by Marshall's rank this should be considered a body bag game but we know its not going to be.
If they can eliminate the fumbles on offense and the big plays on defense this could be a winable game. There must be a coaching issue since teams are getting first downs on third and long too many times and big plays are killing us. The secondary didn't regress. If anything they should have gotten better since last year. Smith drops of the all CUSA first team list at mid season. What is that about?

Apparently those with dollars to spend thought 26.5 points was to low…so it's now at 28 points for four of the major outlets.

Isn't that crazy? I guess a team like ours doesn't get as followed as Alabama but I feel like 14 points is plenty. Perhaps they look at FIU as a comparison, I dunno. Owls getting 28 points feels good, I'd be thoroughly disgusted if we lose by 30 to an in conference opponent.

It does seem crazy but then you see we lost to FIU by 28 and Marshall killed FIU...but still, I would be disappointed with not covering that spread.

I think part of the issue is that they put up a lot of big plays, and we tend to give them up (last week aside).

Brandon Doughty ranked 5th in the nation in passing yards… Ain't no thang
Rakeem Cato is a Heisman candidate and currently holds a 39 games w/ TD streak… No worries

Maybe that's the mind set we need to be in coming into this game.

I have no high expectation for this game, I just can't bear another blowout loss…

We struggle against the run much more than the pass.

If our secondary shows up to play….this could be a very close game.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Kato is by far the best QB we'll see all year. We cannot turn the ball over at all against this team or it will be over in a hurry. I'm hopeful we can beat the spread, that's about it.
