As I understand it, he tried going this year but decided too late in the process and didn't get his stuff to the NCAA Clearinghouse in time. He is currently at BSC...we'll see what happens from there...

Big East Game of the Week

 

Marshall at West Virginia 3:30 pm EST GamePlan Saturday, September 2nd

Why to watch: Clean, old-fashioned hate belongs to the Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry, but for one weekend, Marshall-West Virginia is going to borrow it. These two schools, who’ve met just once in 83 years, genuinely despise each other, which is a recipe for an insanely fun weekend in Morgantown. Marshall feels it was being ducked for years, and West Virginia doesn’t pay much attention to its little brother down south. It’s Coal Bowl I, the first of seven meetings between college football’s version of the Hatfields and McCoys. The Mountaineers are brimming with optimism with speed and experience on both sides of the ball and eyeing more than just a Big East title. Marshall hasn’t been Marshall of late winning just five of its last 15 games, but hope comes in the form of 25 returners with starting experience. They’ll be better in Mark Snyder’s second season, but how much better depends on the development of QB Bernie Morris.

Why Marshall might win: As good as West Virginia’s offense was in the second half of 2005, it was one-dimensional. Steve Slaton to the right, Pat White to the left and almost nothing through the air. Okay, so the ‘eers rarely had to get vertical, but until proven otherwise, White is a pedestrian passer. An underrated Marshall D has the sideline-to-sideline speed with players, such as LBs Dennis Thornton and Josh Johnson, to potentially contain West Virginia’s prolific running game.

Why West Virginia might win: The Mountaineers do two things that are essential for every winning program: they run the ball well and can stop the run with attacking linebackers Boo McLee and Jay Henry and a deep line rotation. WVU was Top 20 in both areas last year, and if it can neutralize MU RB Ahmad Bradshaw and force the erratic Morris to win the game, Marshall’s doomed.

Who to watch: Bradshaw is reinventing what it means to be an offensive star at Marshall. He’s neither a quarterback nor a wide receiver, yet is halfway to becoming the best back to ever play in Huntington. The junior led the Herd in rushing and receiving in 2005 and is the one player in green and white good enough to spur a monumental upset.

What will happen: Believe it or not, this has the potential to be the most electric atmosphere of September. Marshall is underrated and will play with an edge, but Slaton and White will get their big plays, and the Herd offense isn’t yet built to come from behind, especially at Milan Puskar.

CFN Prediction: West Virginia 34 ... Marshall 23 ... Line: West Virginia -21.5

Must See Rating: (5 skip the birth of your first born - 1 Pants Off, Dance Off) ... 3.5

"he didnt have any blocking"

 

That's always the excuse for a failed runnning game. Even if there was better blocking, he still would have not got any yardage. the eers D is just too debo.

If you're suggesting the game was out of hand by early 3rd quarter so be it, but you're wrong to suggest that somehow affected wv's d in the 3rd and 4th quarter, wv still had their 1st team in and they were playing their best, fact is they got some things going on o and bradshaw had some good gains. Their o did better than wv fans will credit them at times, especially in the 3rd and 4th quarter, but they they often shot themselves in the foot with 1 big step backwards for every 2 forward on a lot of those.
