Starting DE Jeremiah Taylor missed Saturday's game with UTSA and as far as we know is out indefinitely. Doc announced today that reserve OL Jordan Jeffries' playing career is over due to a chronic hip injury. Other than that, the Herd is healthy.

Marshall head Coach Doc Holliday on the Owls from Tuesday's C-USA presser…

If you look at FAU and what they done, they are a very dangerous team. They’ve gone on the road and beaten South Florida who just went up to Cincinnati and beat Cincinnati this last weekend. They also went on the road and beat UAB and got a road victory. That’s two great road wins for them and they also took Rice to the wire and did that without their quarterback. Anytime you are located in Boca Raton, Florida and a brand new stadium and a great school you are going to have players. There are a lot of players around there. They are very athletic and FAU is second in Conference USA in total defense. They run extremely well. They have a quarterback in Jaquez Johnson that missed the game against Rice and they started a true freshman and just about beat Rice. He looks like he is starting to come into his own. He had 400 yards of total offense last week against UAB. He can beat you with his feet. I know he had over 100 yards rushing against UAB as well. He’s had well over 60 carries in the last four games. He not only can throw it, but is a big part of their running game. He throws it plenty well enough to beat you if you are not prepared. He’s an excellent player; they have good skill and good running backs. It will be a great challenge for us and we have to make sure we do a great job as always of preparation this week.

I had them with 10 on their two-deep from the Tri-County area (Dade, Broward and Palm). Compare that to 18 for FAU.

has anyone heard how sales are for the game, I know Marshall alum will be there in good numbers, what about our fans?

I hope we have good numbers but unless somebody reports that we're expecting a large turnout, I'm expecting less than 10k overall.

That said, if we could make it to and win a bowl game, things could definitely change next season. I do predict an upswing in attendance in the next few years.

I think this opponent and the kick off time will go a long way to bringing in a decent crowd…I'd be surprised if we didnt get up into the teens

Dieter posted a very intriguing graphic tonight on the Owls with regards to their "offensive turnaround":

Wow. I was literally thinking of doing the exact thing earlier today, I just didn't have a chance to do it. Thought it would be an interesting graph as a counter to those who argued that we're not progressing when we clearly are.
