Feeding off the feedback

First off, I appreciate all of the feedback both on this blog and our new story chat feature. Feel free to respond to both and we can develop a nice back-and-forth on Thundering Herd football. Speaking of which, it’s obvious that the No. 1 topic of discussion this week concerns Marshall’s lack of a vertical passing game. The offensive line’s inability to protect Bernard Morris was a factor last week at Kansas State, but it’s clear that the offense has to at least take shots downfield, regardless of the results. Protection again will be an issue this week at Tennessee, but the Herd will attempt to stretch the field against a revamped Vols secondary.
