WKU vs ODU

[BTG_Fan1]

Is on CBSSN, channel 94/594 on Frontier

Looks like we have MTSU vs Marshall on ESPN2 as well.

Whatever you may want to say about the level of play, the crowd looks good on tv.

So we hardly get CUSA games on TV and we schedule two Friday night TV games at the same time?  Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  Good thing remotes have that "previous channel" button.

3'rd Quarter  6:53 left

ODU......24

WKU....21

ODU's 17 year old QB  Steven Williams looks pretty darn good.

I like the WKU chrome helmets!  I like the UNT chrome helmets as worn in the HOD Bowl.

It seems we will have our work cut out for us against ODU, too.

Apparently ODU recently started using a 17 (almost 18) year old QB.

Impressive because the 1st ODU, only allowed him to throw 2 passes.. FAU maybe a nice little preview of ODU in terms of a running QB

I watched enough of both games to see that Marshall is for real.  It is also obvious that Old Dominion will not be a cake walk. They don't have a good record but they are spunky and could give us problems.

Marshall did look legit in the 3rd quarter when I watched.. Really hope they don’t make it through the buzzsaw of the last 5/6 games they have

[THOR]

odu lost a 10 point lead in the fourth....lost 35-31

[Rudy]

Marshall is usually legit. They're the face of the conference.

I watched both CUSA games. I felt like ODU gave away that game.... Marshall dominated MTSU....MTSU has really fallen this season....I know their starting QB is out. Not sure if that explains everything though.

CUSA lost it's Fox partnership (they didn't renew), and CUSA has few games on TV to begin with now. CUSA now only has rare ESPN/ESPN2 games (frequent ESPN3 games though), and occasional games from BeIN and CBS Sports.... I think CUSA isn't in a position to hold off broadcasting any game, even if at competing times.  We need at least one or two teams regularly ranked in the Top25 to (re)garner interest in this league by the networks. AAC has stolen the show of what CUSA used to be.

I remember last year the Marshall fans wanted Holiday fired.  What a turn around for Marshall and the whole conference with few exceptions seems to be rising.  I saw the comments on how important the UTSA game was but this week is just as big and every game after that. We can't overlook any team.

Marshall RB (Tyler King) with a great "hurdle" over a Mut.
