Two weeks in a row we’ve talked defensive line; starting with the LSU big boys against the Oregon blocking scheme followed by Auburn’s glaring need to defeat blocks and make a play. This week we’re off the line and we’re also out of the SEC. The biggest game of the weekend draws this guy’s eyes […]

There’s still a long ways to go for Marshall, but the program seems to be going […]
