Oh, boy, this should be an intense game. Two in-state rivals like this, it's going to stir emotions and passions. Shame the winless Thundering Herd won't provide better competition for Pat White, Steve Slaton and company. After all, this is a team put up 542 yards against the Western Michigan Broncos, while White and Slaton combined to account for 7 touchdowns on the day. Simply put, rivalry or not, there's no way Marshall can hang with the Mountaineers.

i hope not and i doubt it. White is going to continue throwing for more yards in each week

I agree the WVU will get the win by several touchdowns. Slaton and White are scoring machines. If they get a wide margin ahead by the 4th qtr you get your younger guys in for playing experience.

The only issue is that this is a rivalry game. Those doggone things are always unpredictable.

Here we go folks, the Friends of Coal bowl is about to kick off. It's live right now on ESPN 2. Did I see that right on the pregame - WVU has never loss to Marshall? Can they make it 7-0 with a victory today? You bet they can.

Uh-oh... Marshall's kick returner #5 just took the opening kickoff 77 yards and deep into Mountaineer territory!

[Lefty Noob]

The Darius Marshall kick return sets up a field goal, and Marshall's on the board first, 3-0.

[Lefty Noob]

Mountaineers go 3-and-out. The Thundering Herd defense looks fantastic. This one's off to a rough start for WVU.

The Golden Knights have these guys on their schedule...that might be a closer affair...got to make note to keep an eye on # 5...

Pat White just hit Darius Reynaud on a deep post route to make it 6-3 (WVU botched the extra point). Hard to handle that kind of speed!

How come the most popular collage game thread is the number 3 in the country facing the number 103 country?

Reynaud is blessed with 4.4 speed...a running back in high school, he had 1,900 yards and 35 tds on the ground as a senior...the boy has no trouble running or finding the end zone.

It looks like West virginia is going to jst pound the defense until they are too tired to make tackles.

Because we are all betting on the game silly...someone gave me Marshall and 40 points...why else would we be here?...

Who ever had money on Marshall was right becuase they are up 13-6 at the half Steve Slaton has 12 yards on 5 carries
