So much news, such little time

It’s been a few days since the last blog, and the reason is simple – there’s too much going on. Between Marshall’s final preparations for West Virginia, the dismissal of charges against Geremy Rodamer and Hiram Moore’s arrest, it’s been busy times within Marshall football. The newest news focuses on Zearrick Mathews’ strong push toward a starting cornerback spot opposite J.J. Johnson and Jimmy Skinner’s narrow nod over Derek Devine for the backup quarterback job. Also, Moore’s suspension, combined with Shawn Lauzon’s season-ending injury, has upped the workload of Marshall’s four first-year receivers. Look for at least one of the foursome to receive snaps Saturday at WVU.
