He recently retired from football, however, leaving Marshall with major question marks at the most important position on the field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Cole Pennington start? The son of Marshall great Chad Pennington has promise, but he threw six interceptions and no touchdowns in limited duty last fall. The youngster is joined in the quarterback room by Tulsa transfer Braylon Braxton, who has rushing ability and flashed quality passing potential in 2022 (10 touchdowns and two interceptions) before an interception-heavy (six INTs compared to two touchdowns) 2023 campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those two figure to battle for the starting spot, and it\u2019s possible they split time in 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At running back, Rasheen Ali is gone \u2013 he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens \u2013 but NC State transfer Jordan Houston and returner Ethan Payne figure to lead a capable running back unit. The wide receiver room is filled with intriguing transfers, including former Middle Tennessee wideout Elijah Metcalf (54 catches for 634 yards and six touchdowns last season). He should make life easier for whoever wins the quarterback gig.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up front, Marshall\u2019s offensive line should be headlined by upperclassmen. New offensive line coach Cody Crill should provide a necessary jolt to the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marshall has questions on defense, too, but the Thundering Herd ranked 13th in the Sun Belt in scoring last season (22.8 points per game). Teams can\u2019t contend in a competitive Sun Belt East with one of the worst offenses in the conference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>For more Group of Five coverage, follow us on <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HEROsportsCFB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Facebook<\/em><\/a><em> and <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HERO_SportsCFB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Twitter<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2024-marshall-football-season-prediction\">2024 Marshall Football Season Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps naively, I\u2019m in on Marshall\u2019s 2024 potential and lean toward taking Over 5.5 wins. I\u2019m concerned about Griffis not remaining with the program, but between Pennington and Braxton the Thundering Herd should improve at quarterback. After throwing 18 interceptions compared to 12 touchdowns, is it really that hard to improve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new offense should improve its consistency under new offensive coordinator Seth Doege, and the influx of talent at wide receiver makes me excited about the possibilities offensively. At the very least, I expect increased competence on the scoreboard in league games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marshall\u2019s win total Over\/Under might be sitting at 7.5 or even 8.5 if the schedule wasn\u2019t so brutal. Non-conference road games against Virginia Tech and Ohio State seem like likely losses. Those games, coupled with a full Sun Belt East schedule, should lead to a challenging 2024 slate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, Marshall went 6-7 last season despite horrendous offensive showings. Huff is still a rising coach in the industry, and he led the program to nine wins one season prior. If Marshall can hold its own at home \u2013 games with Stony Brook, Western Michigan, Georgia State, and ULM are winnable \u2013 the Thundering Herd will make a strong push for seven or more wins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleep on this Marshall program at your own risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marshall has a proud football program, posting 10-win seasons in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.
