Herd offense taking a stand

In a flip from recent seasons, Marshall University’s offense is winning out more often than not over its defensive teammates during spring practice. Lack of defensive depth definitely is a factor (Josh Johnson was the lone middle linebacker to practice on Tuesday), but credit is due to upgrades at Marshall’s skill positions. In response to several questions in previous blog logs (much easier to type than say), yes, quarterback Bernard Morris is looking better as spring practice develops. Wide receivers are hauling in long passes daily, but that result is equal parts talent at wideout and inexperience at cornerback. Practices are open this week -- Wednesday and Friday at 3:30 p.m. and Saturday’s Green-White Game at 3 p.m. -- so feel free to judge on your own.
