HoGo's offense ran all over Marshall.... a couple times.
Beat a team with a pulse before you start talking big boy football.
I hate to break it to you, shortgapwvu.....Although it feels like it to you guys, beating Marshall is NOT the equivalent of winning a championship.
Actually, no, it's just ho-hum. It's not like beating Marshall is a huge accomplishment. WKU, MTSU, Ohio (NOT Ohio State ... just "Ohio")
You must be a real top-flight program to beat Marshall apparently.
It's just comical that Marshall fans continually try to denigrate a program they've never beaten.
