Official ‘26 PSU - Marshall Game Thread

[Big_O]

Did Rojas get hurt? Haven't seen him in a couple of series.

I noticed that as well. Maybe they are trying to ease him in after his season ending injury last year.

 

[Knickslions69]

Why was Howard not playing last year?

Maybe he matured this year. Maybe he just fits better with this offensive plan. Who knows but it’s a new year

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Give credit to Marshall--their game plan is to take away the run and force us to beat them in the air--it's worked so far.

You can run against Marshall, but not straight up. Need to start pulling Guards and Tackles and running wide with numbers.

 

[Ludd]

Maybe he matured this year. Maybe he just fits better with this offensive plan. Who knows but it’s a new year

Maybe he couldn’t learn the plays. We’re not at practice every day, yet we know better than the whole coaching staff.

 

[LionDeNittany]

You don’t think Campbell has his favorites? I see a lot of Iowa State guys out there on the field. All coaches do.

Campbell's favorites seem to be our best players. Weird.

Maybe Franklin had "agendas"

 

[Calabrin]

Franklin had his favorites. Probably some NIL kickback scheme.

The @$$-backwards approach to successful athletics.

 

[Ludd]

Campbell's favorites seem to be our best players. Weird.

But we don’t know that, do we?

 

[CoolBean]

Koby is good

 

[WaffleShopper]

I never said "all the time"

You seem very invested in taking a flippant comment and trying to decisively prove it wrong.

Maybe go back to my original post and reread it.

He’s upset that we’re winning.

 

[KingLando]

So far the ones ahead of him don’t look terribly impressive, but it’s early.

Yeah, it game 1--Marshall's game plan is to limit the run game--it's not like these backs are just missing holes

 

[AtlantaLion]

Maybe its Maybelline?

 

[LionDeNittany]

But we don’t know that, do we?

Do you know what the word "seem" means?

We established that we didn't get stomped by UCLA so far this season. And that Franklin started inferior players.

What else would you like me to prove to you?

Come on, throw the corner fade to the shortest receiver

 

[KingLando]

Love seeing a pass over the middle in the red zone to a TE--nice drive

 

[KingLando]

I miss those days already lol

 

[Bison13]

So as soon as somebody was removed from their coaching duties, Howard mysteriously starts to see the field and looks great by the end of last year. Now he’s getting open every time and definitely looks like he should’ve been playing every snap last year.

Score may have been similar at halftime as last year’s opener, but that was a top five team playing against a three win Nevada team. And now this is nowhere near talented of a roster according to the Franklin Bots playing against a team that’s probably going to come in second place to JMU in their conference.

 

[RyanSnyder]

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Absolutely loaded at TE.

 

[trufan]

Come on, throw the corner fade to the shortest receiver

And if it doesn't work, try it again

 

[RyanSnyder]

 

[PSUAVLNC]

Surprised to not see Quinton Martin at all.

 

[BobPSU92]

Come on, throw the corner fade to the shortest receiver

Where is the screen pass for a loss of three yards?

 

[Catch1lion]

On the Marshall helmets, LLTB? Ladies love the Bob?

 

[KingLando]

That should have been six for Marshall

 

[KingLando]

Surprised to not see Quinton Martin at all.

They brought in 2 backs for a reason. I like Martin and was glad he stayed (didn't think he should have but selfishly) but he's clearly RB3

 

[Bwifan]

Boise giving Oregon a game early...

Sabans surprise team pick of the year

You said the last several years we’d be losing to these teams…which is patently false…I don’t have to prove it false.

 

[CyphaPSU]

I love Campbell’s reaction after that his timeout worked.

 

[LionDeNittany]

You said the last several years we’d be losing to these teams…which is patently false…I don’t have to prove it false.

I never said that. Again, you're misquoting me.

[BobPSU92]

Halftime. Are we thoroughly disgusted yet?

Completely 100% false….i just don’t like selective memory and hypocrisy. I hope Campbell goes 12-0 every year, but I don’t need to trash past coaches and players to want that.

 

[Bwifan]

You don’t think Campbell has his favorites? I see a lot of Iowa State guys out there on the field. All coaches do.

Difference is Campbell doesn't have PSU players saying he is playing favorites not the best players like Franklin did

I’m quite sure the OOC teams we played in the past had a game plan to limit the run game, but that didn’t fly as a reason for our lack of success on this board.

Rocco with a 246 QBR is outstanding.

I don't think Ludd is upset we're winning
Someone might need to do a wellness check on a few posters here but not Ludd

I want to win every game by 100. I especially want to win this one because both my kids went to Marshall and I have a ton of friends who are Marshall fans.
