I predict Marshall will be inexplicibly flat. <BR/><BR/>Then I predict fans will quickly sweep the loss under the rug, rationalizing it by saying "We are still in first place in the conference... unimportant game... means nothing, etc" This rationalization will occur even though we've continued to see the same things over and over again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167861.post-32678445885213724122008-09-26T11:37:00.000-07:002008-09-26T11:37:00.000-07:00I am a BIG Marshall fan and an alumni.

WVU even slumping is still ranked above the Herd. They have a huge home field advantage and probably more talent on both sides of the ball (though not as much as in the past. I say WVU wins this but by 11 to 13 points. If the spread is 14 or more take MU plus the points. You know WVU is in trouble if the again have trouble getting the other team's offense off the field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167861.post-61324547404700250262008-09-25T05:12:00.000-07:002008-09-25T05:12:00.000-07:00I'm concerned WVU is going to hand MU a huge dose of reality. It will take a nearly perfect effort to topple WVU in their house.

With that said, regardless of the crowd noise; at Wisconsin and MSU that did not play as big a roll as momentum. If the herd can give Cann time to throw and limit turnovers; contain White, force to go to his third or forth receiver, and control the line of scrimmage. Final: MU27 WV 23.

They have the edge, considering WVU has come off two consecutive losses. BUT, they are in Morgantown for the game....its gonna be a battle!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167861.post-26273913992674013832008-09-23T13:21:00.000-07:002008-09-23T13:21:00.000-07:00WVU has had more time to prepare. They know that they need to run the table (wont happen) to make it to a major bowl. They will not be taking the Herd lightly.<BR/><BR/>All that said, this is bigger than the Super Bowl for Marshall fans, players, and coaches. It's just not possible for WVU to get up as much for this game as it is for the Herd.<BR/><BR/>Depending on Cann's moxie, I think this is the best match-up since WVU got their Moss/Pennington scare.<BR/><BR/>No matter how much I hope the Herd kicks the snot out of them, my realistic prediction is a close game with WVU's athleticism beating down the Herd in the end.<BR/><BR/>Herd 23<BR/>WVU 36chinaskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167861.post-92157293347947124412008-09-23T10:24:00.000-07:002008-09-23T10:24:00.000-07:00I'm torn because I don't want to get too excited but its obvious to me at least that Marshall has the upper hand. Just look at the stats Marshall is head and shoulders better in every category. Cann is much more proficient passing the ball and our running game is atleast on par if not better than WVU. Its going to come down to Defense and I beleive that our defence will bend but not break and the Herd wins something like 24-21PJFan16http://www.blogger.com/profile/06686887436046809656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167861.post-34825391854598642302008-09-23T09:19:00.000-07:002008-09-23T09:19:00.000-07:00West Virginia is clearly in need of redemption. But, I question whether or not they can gain the momentum necessary to rise to the occasion because Marshall is now going to be really motivated toward the possibility of another big win. Now Marshall has Momentum!wcornetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10975336722000608311noreply@blogger.com
