Knock on wood; health is holding up

No news is the newest news from Marshall University preseason football camp. And that’s more than fine with the Thundering Herd coaching staff.

Wideout Tavaris Thompson finally appears fully healthy, helping comprise a potentially potent group of receivers including Emmanuel Spann, Darius Passmore and Courtney Edmonson.
