Thundering Herd are set up for Success

Marshall
2009 OOC Record: 5-7
2009 OOC Opp. Winning %: 0.590
2009 OOC RPI: 140

Predicted 2010 OOC Record: 8-4
2010 OOC Opp. Winning %: 0.563
Predicted 2010 OOC RPI: 51

The schedule sets up nicely for Marshall this year and while that could’ve been said about last year as well I think they might actually have the team to make some things happen this time around. NC A&T, MTSU, Lamar, vs Ohio, Troy, High Point, St Bonaventure, @Binghamton should be very winnable games for the Herd and while there’s little shot at beating UNC or WV, they could win @ODU or @Troy. Keep in mind that I’m using last year’s records and while most of these effects while average out over the entire OOC slate, Binghamton is a likely candidate for worst turnaround of the offseason considering everything that’s happened within that program. Nonetheless, if Donnie Jones can convince his guys to play any defense this year, they should be in good shape.
