After the Louisiana loss, I was convinced this team was cooked, but credit coach Huff for making a change at QB, and winning 4 of the next 5.
We’re losing some absolute studs on defense, but I’m legitimately excited about Huff, Cam, and the future of this program.

If that’s the case, I hope Rakeem Cato is inducted this year as well. Those two, together in high school, college and even indoor football teammates, should enter Marshall’s Hall of Fame shoulder-to-shoulder.
Marshall All-Time Great WR Tommy Shuler announced via his Instagram that he has been inducted into the Marshall Hall of Fame Class of 2024!!
By any metric, Tommy is one of the best EVER to run a route for The Herd. His resume is mind-boggling.

Couple ground rules I try to live by here:
1) Don’t criticizes a student athlete by name. Coaches are fair game, not athletes.
2) If you are criticizing someone, never tag or use their twitter handle in the post.
3) Never break the sanctity of a direct message.
