Norfolk State Notes

Captains for the game were Jarquez Samuel, Corey Tindal, Davonte Allen
and Michael Selby.
The Herd shutout Norfolk State in the second half, a first for the Herd
since Nov. 8, 2014, at Southern Miss, where Marshall won 63-17, and
outscored the Golden Eagles 35-0 in the second half.
True freshman quarterback Chase Litton, redshirt senior right tackle Tom
Collins, sophomore safety Kendall Gant and redshirt senior wide receiver
Deandre Reaves each recorded their first start.
Three and Outs

Marshall has forced a three-and-out by the opposition 20 times on 44
drives this season. The 6.7 per game average is fourth nationally behind
Colorado State (8.0), NC State (7.33) and Houston (7.0). The percentage
of .455 is sixth behind NC State (22-35, 62.9%), Boston College (18-32,
56.3%), Colorado State (24-47, 51.1%), Oregon State (19-38, 50%) and
Houston (14-29, 48.3%).
The Herd has made 11 consecutive field goals (final seven last season by
Justin Haig, four this season by Nick Smith (2 vs. Purdue; 1 at Ohio, 1 vs.
Norfolk State); last miss was Haig 23-yarder in first quarter (11:26) at UAB
(Legion Field), Nov. 22, 2014.
Redshirt freshman Emanuel Beal recorded his first catch in the first
quarter on a five-yard pass from Chase Litton.
Picked Off!
The Herd is currently tied for seventh nationally with six interceptions
and, individually, Taj Letman is tied for first nationally with three.
Tyler Williamss 65-yard punt in the first quarter set a new season long
(previously 60 vs. Purdue). His career high is 66, which he set at Rice as a
freshman (Sept. 22, 2012).
Efficiency at its best

The Herd has averaged more yards per play than the opposition in 17 of
its last 18 games (the 2015 loss to Ohio the only exception).
Redshirt sophomore Tony Pittmans two carries on the first-quarter

touchdown drive are his first of the season.
Whats up? Doc

Marshall Coach Doc Holliday enters his sixth season on the Herd sideline,
and the only current Conference USA head coach who was in the Texasbased league when Holliday arrived is Rices David Bailiff.
Chase Litton recorded his first two touchdown passes to redshirt senior
Deandre Reaves (0:04 first quarter, 11:14 second quarter). The TD
receptions are the first of Reaves career.
With 122 yards against Norfolk State, running back Devon Johnson
moved to 12th all-time in career rushing yards with 2,161, passing
Steward Butler (2,063) and Orlando Hatchett (2,143).
Holliday, named at Marshall in December 2009, was part of a 23-man FBS

coaching-hire class prior to the 2010 season. Of those 23 coaches, only six
remain on the job at the schools hiring them in 2010 Holliday, Florida
States Jimbo Fisher, Notre Dames Brian Kelly, Ruffin McNeill at East
Carolina, Virginias Mike London and Todd Berry of Louisiana-Monroe.
In the second quarter, Tony Pittmans reception for eight yards on a first
down was the first of his career.
Holliday is 42-26 (.618) in five-plus seasons. The only coaches in his hiring
class with better records are Fisher (61-11, .847) and Kelly (48-20, .706).
Devon Johnsons one-yard rushing touchdown at the 4:48 mark in

the second quarter was his 23rd career rushing touchdown and his
29th career touchdown. He now sits at 13th all-time in career rushing
touchdowns and tied for 12th all-time in touchdowns with Orlando
Hatchett (1989-92).
Holliday received a six-year contract extension this past spring, through

June 2021, bumping his base and supplemental salary to $755,500.
Deandre Reaves had a career-high 82 yards against Norfolk State. His 36yard touchdown reception is his longest reception of his career.
In the third quarter, Devon Johnson reached the 100-yard rushing mark
for the 12th time in his career. Since World War II, only Chris Parker (31)
and Doug Chapman (20) have more for the Thundering Herd.
At the 8:28 mark in the third quarter, redshirt senior Davonte Allen
recorded his first touchdown of the season (11 yards).
Redshirt freshman running back Keion Davis rush at the 3:56 mark in the
third quarter was the first of his career. His one-yard touchdown with 23
seconds remaining in the third quarter was the first of his career.
Chase Litton tied the Marshall record for a first-time starter with four
touchdown passes, held by Stan Hill (as a sophomore in 2002). His four
touchdown passes are the most by a Herd freshman quarterback debut.
Redshirt senior safety Taj Letmans interception at the 13:41 mark of the
fourth quarter was his third of the season and his third-straight game
with a pick.
Near the top

With back-to-back season of double-digit victories 10-4 and 13-1
Marshall enters 2015 owning one of the best FBS records in that twoplus-season span. Only six FBS teams have a better record since the start
of the 2013 season than Marshalls 25-6.
Florida State (30-1), Ohio State (29-3), Michigan State (27-3) are the top
three. Oregon and Missouri are next at 26-5 and Northern Illinois, which
the Herd downed last December in the inaugural Boca Raton Bowl, is tied
with the Herd at 25-6.
50+
Marshalls 52-23 win over NIU last season was the 14th time that the
Thundering Herd has reached the 50+-point plateau under coach Doc
Holliday. Jim Donnan (1990-95) holds the all-time school mark in that
department with 15, while Bob Pruett (1996-2004) also reached that mark
14 times and Cam Henderson (1936-42, 1946-49) did it on 13 occasions.
Herd Finishes Under Holliday
Since Doc Holliday became head coach in 2010, the Herd has an excellent
record of finishing off its opponents once it takes the lead. Marshall is
31-6 when it scores first, 30-3 when leading after the first quarter, 33-2
when leading at halftime and 32-3 when leading after three quarters.
True freshman wide receiver Nick Mathews (nine yards) made the first
catch of his career at 7:39 of the fourth quarter.
10+
Since the start of the 2012 season (43 games), MU boasts 830 10+ yard
plays, an average of 19.3 per contest. As you might imagine, those
numbers have yielded the following: In that same period, offensive
coordinator Bill Leggs attack has 26 games of 500 or more yards total
offense and 27 games with 40 or more points.
The Herd is 16-1 all-time vs. FCS (former Division I-AA opponents) since
moving to FBS level in 1997, losing only to New Hampshire, 48-35, in
2007.
Feel The Rush

Marshall has outrushed 24 of its last 33 opponents overall and 15 of its
last 20 Conference USA opponents, dating back to the 2012 season.
Under Coach Holliday, Marshall is 23-4 when it wins the turnover margin,
9-18 when it loses the turnover margin and 10-4 when are tied in turnover
margin.
Protecting the Home Turf

Marshall is nationally known for being one of, if not the, toughest places
to play in college football. The program has won 84.71 percent (144-26)
of its home games in Joan C. Edwards Stadium, the third-highest mark in
the country. Baylor, who is in just its second season in McLane Stadium,
is first at 7-0 and Georgia Southern (Paulson Stadium) has slipped into
second (183-33) by a hair over the Herd (84.72 percent).
Junior wide receiver Justin Hunt caught his first touchdown of the year ,
a 25-yarder, at 9:22 in the fourth quarter.
Marshall at home, in its 25th season at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, is 14426 (.847)
The Herd has made 115 consecutive points-after-touchdown and 271 of
the last 272.
Leaves Fall, Herd Wins

The Herd is 21-6 after Oct. 28 in Doc Hollidays four-plus years as head
coach, including a 12-1 mark at home.

Tyler, too
Herd senior Tyler Williams impressed quickly upon his 2012 arrival in the
program, winning the punting job as a true freshman walk-on and then
setting the school single-season record with a 45.19-yard average. Now,
he has a shot at the career average record.
The Fort Wayne, Ind., resident currently has a 43.9-yard average over
his three-plus seasons. The school record of 43.4 belongs to Pat Velarde
(1982-83). And only 59 of Williams 155 career punts have been returned,
an average of 2.62 per game.
four summer graduates were added in August defensive end Armonze

Daniel (management), defensive tackle Steve Dillon (Regents bachelor
of arts), kick returner Deandre Reaves (marketing) and linebacker Evan
McKelvey (marketing and management). In addition, former offensive
lineman Cam Dees gained his finance degree. Dees had to give up
football because of multiple knee injuries.
Ohio Notes
Marshall game captains at Ohio, as selected by Coach Doc Holliday and
his staff, were guard Sebastian Johansson and center Michael Selby on
offense and tackle Steve Dillon and safety Taj Letman. Selby was a captain
for the second straight game.
In three-plus seasons, Williams has had 45 punts of 50 or more yards,

including 11 of 60-plus. He has placed 48 inside the 20, with only 16
touchbacks. His stellar performance in the 2013 Military Bowl was a
key to the Herds victory over Maryland, as Williams pinned the Terps at
their own 1, 5, 1 and 8 among his seven kicks. His career-long boot was a
66-yarder at Rice in 2012.
Junior Devontrea Tyler made his first career start at middle linebacker
for the Herd.
Williams is the fifth four-year starting punter in Marshall annals, following

Bob Esbaugh (1971-74), Chris Hanson (1995-98), Curtis Head (1999-2002)
and Kase Whitehead (2008-11).
Redshirt freshman right guard Jordan Dowrey made his first career start
for the Herd.
Happy returns
Herd kick return man Deandre Reaves has set the school record for singleseason return yards in each of the last two years 924 in 2013 and 931
last season. In the loss at Ohio, he also claimed the schools career record.
Reaves has 1,999 career kick return yards. The school mark that lasted
nearly four decades was Ray Crisps. who posted 1,966 yards from 197578.
Reaves has gotten his kick runback yardage in the last two-plus seasons.
He didnt have a kick return as a freshman in 2012.
Extra points
Seconds after Tiquan Lang returned an interception 30 yards seven
seconds into the win over Purdue, placekicker Nick Smith trotted onto
the field for the ensuing extra point.
Smith has a PAT streak to continue. Justin Haig made his final 102 extra
points last missing Nov. 2, 2013 in a win over Southern Miss (third
quarter), and Smith kicked one in last seasons victory at FIU.
With six in the win over Norfolk State, the Herd streak is 115 when the
Herd visits Dix Stadium on Saturday.
Marshall had a streak of 156 straight when Haig missed in 2013. So, the
Herd has converted its last 270-of-271.
Hang on!
Its easy to see why Herd Coach Doc Holliday talks about ball security so
often. His five previous Marshall teams have provided a strong indicator
of why turnover margin is so important.
Hollidays six Herd teams have a combined 42-26 record. When Marshall
has an edge in turnover margin, it is 23-4. When the turnover number is
equal, Marshall is 10-4. But when the opponent is more sure-handed, the
Herd is 9-18.
Of Marshalls 68 games under Holliday, the Herd has played 33 while
producing zero or one turnover.
Perfect vs. Texas at Home
Interestingly enough, Marshall has never lost to a school from Texas
at home. The Thundering Herd is a perfect 11-0 against Texas schools
in games played in Huntington. Marshall owns a win over North Texas
(1988), two wins over Houston (2008, 2012), three wins over Rice (2007,
2011, 2014), two wins over SMU (2005, 2009), two wins over UTEP (2006,
2010) and one victory over UTSA (2013).
The graduates
Marshall will play the 2015 season with 13 players already owning their
MU undergraduate degrees a record for a Herd football team. MU had
five 2015 seniors (athletic eligibility) graduate last December wide
receiver Davonte Allen, linebacker D.J. Hunter, safety Taj Letman and
tight end Joe Woodrum in management, and offensive guard Sebastian
Johansson in sports management/marketing. The roster gained four
more graduates in May cornerback Keith Baxter (health science),
defensive end Joe Massaquoi (criminal justice), offensive tackle Clint
Van Horn (political science) and punter Tyler Williams (marketing). Then,
The Herd 2015 roster has only two players who played in the 2011 game
at Ohio redshirt seniors Keith Baxter (cornerback) and Evan McKelvey
(linebacker).
Herd safety Taj Letmans interception (2:56 first quarter) was his second
this season and seventh of his career. Its the Herds fifth pick in 2015.
Devon Johnsons 73-yard touchdown run (10:07 second quarter) was
the second-longest run of his Herd career. He had a 75-yard yarder (no
touchdown) in a 2014 win at UAB. It also was Johnsons 28th touchdown
(rush and receive) in his last 19 games.
Devon Johnson passed the 100-yard rushing mark in the second quarter
with his 73-yard touchdown run. He has 11 games of 100 or more yards
rushing in his Herd career, tied for fifth with Ahmad Bradshaw. The top
four are Chris Parker (31), Doug Chapman (20) and Ron Darby and Darius
Marshall (12) tied for third.
With 28 career touchdowns (22 rushing, six receiving), Devon Johnson
has tied former teammate and tight end Gator Hoskins for No. 13 on the
all-time Marshall career touchdown list. No. 12 is Orlando Hatchett (29
from 1989-92).
With a 42-yard kick return to start the second half, senior Deandre Reaves
reached 1,982 career kick return yards, eclipsing the former Herd record
of 1,966 set by Ray Crisp from 1975-78.
With 7:30 remaining in the game, Devon Johnson totaled 2,039 rushing
yards for his Herd career. He is the 15th back in Herd history to reach
2,000.
Herd redshirt senior defensive end Armonze Daniels first-down sack (late
third quarter) was the first of his career.
Tyler Williams nine punts in the game are the most in his 42-game Herd
career.
Purdue Notes
Marshall game captains versus Purdue for the 2015 opener, as selected by
Coach Doc Holliday and his staff, were tackle Clint Van Horn and center
Michael Selby on offense and nose tackle Jarquez Samuel and linebacker
D.J. Hunter on defense.
Marshall had eight players make their first Herd career starts, including
six on the offensive side of the ball. The new starters on offense were
quarterback Michael Birdsong, receivers Hyleck Foster and Deon-Tay
McManus, tight end Ryan Yurachek, right guard Nate Devers and left
tackle Sandley Jean-Felix. The two first-time starters on defense were
end Joe Massaquoi and nickel back Antavis Rowe. Birdsong, a transfer
from FCS member James Madison, previously had made 14 starts for the
Dukes.
Junior safety Tiquan Langs two interceptions returned for touchdowns
(first quarter, 14:53; fourth quarter, 1:20) are a first for the Herd. No other
player in Marshall history has returned two interceptions for scores in
a single game. His two interceptions for touchdowns ties the Marshall
season record for a single player. Marshall had two versus Akron in 1997
(by Tim Dempsey and B.J. Summers) and two against East Carolina in
2001 (by Ralph Street and Terence Tarpley).
Langs first pick-six may very well be a record. Nebraska also scored
seven seconds into its 1996 meeting with Texas Tech on a fumble return
and Marshall Media Relations research following the game did not
produce anything faster.

Lang joins Shawn Ferguson of Cincinnati in 1998 as the only C-USA
players with two interceptions for touchdowns in one game.
Langs picks are the third and fourth of his career, and the first two
touchdowns of his career. They are the fifth and sixth interception
touchdown returns for the Herd in defensive coordinator Chuck Heaters
three Marshall seasons. There were three in 2013 (Raheem Waiters, Gary
Thompson, Monterius Lovett), one in 2014 (Corey Tindal) and Langs two
Sunday.
Marshalls team total of 117 interception return yards is the third most in
school history (164 vs. Weber State 1987 on seven INTs and 141 vs. Akron
1997 on three INTs).
Lang had a career high 17 tackles. His previous high was 10 in a 2014
home victory over Ohio University.
Marshalls first punt of the season, a 54-yarder by senior Tyler Williams,
was the seniors 39th punt of 50 or more yards in his Herd career.
The 60-yard punt by Herd senior Tyler Williams (6:46, third quarter) was
the 10th of his career to travel 60 or more yards.
Senior running back Devon Johnsons first-quarter touchdown reception
was his 26th career touchdown (20 rush, six receiving), tying him for 15th
on the Herd career list with Mike Barber (1985-88) and Erik Thomas (199396).
Slot receiver Nick Mathews (0:38 left, first quarter), of Haymarket, Va.,
became the first true freshman to play for Marshall this season. Coach
Hollidays team played 10 redshirt freshmen against Purdue.
Marshalls four interceptions were the most for the Herd since getting
four picks in a 32-14 victory at Miami (Ohio) in October 1999. That game
was the Herds first win in Oxford, Ohio, in 60 years. Only four times in
history has Marshall intercepted more than four passes in a game seven
against Weber State in 1987 and Appalachian State in 1990, and five
against Western Michigan in 1956 and East Tennessee State in 1989.
Sundays attendance of 38,791 is the third largest crowd in Joan C.
Edwards Stadium history (1991-present; capacity is 38,148). It was the
opening game of the 25th season for The Joan. Heres a look at the
largest crowds:
41,382 West Virginia 24, Marshall 21 -- Sept. 10, 2010
40,383 West Virginia 48, Marshall 23 -- Sept. 8, 2007
38,791 Marshall 41, Purdue 31 -- Sept. 6, 2015
36,914 Kansas State 21, Marshall 19 -- Sept. 10, 2005
34,424 Virginia Tech 30, Marshall 10 -- Sept. 24, 2011
Bowling for wins
With a 9-3 all-time record in bowls, Marshall ranks at the top of major
college teams in postseason percentage success (.750), among schools
that have played in at least 10 bowl games. Utah is next at 14-5 (.737),
followed by Miami (Ohio) at 7-3 (.700).
Marshall has won nine of its last 10 bowl appearances, including four
in a row, three of those under Coach Doc Holliday. The Herds current
four-game postseason win streak also shares the FBS lead with Michigan
State, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Louisiana-Lafayette.
Watch out
The 2015 Herd has three players on six of the preseason watch lists for
major national awards, led by running back Devon Johnson. A look at the
Herd on those watch lists:
Walter Camp Award RB Devon Johnson
Maxwell Award RB Devon Johnson
Doak Walker Award RB Devon Johnson
Rimington Trophy C Michael Selby
Outland Trophy OT Clint Van Horn
Rotary Lombardi Award LB D.J. Hunter, OT Clint Van Horn
Tops again
Marshall placed a league-best six players on the 2015 All-Conference USA
Preseason Football Team announced July 14. The 34-player team was
selected by the leagues 13 football coaches.
The six selections for Coach Doc Hollidays team included running back
Devon Johnson and right tackle Clint Van Horn on offense, nose tackle
Jarquez Samuel and strongside linebacker D.J. Hunter on defense, and
punter Tyler Williams and long snapper Matt Cincotta on special teams.
All six are 2015 seniors.
Johnson, Van Horn, Williams and Cincotta were among the Herds
league-record 10 All-C-USA first team selections for the 2014 season last
December.
Following the Herds six selections were five for FIU and four each for
Western Kentucky and Louisiana Tech.
Men of Steele
Marshall produced a Conference USA-record 10 all-conference first team
selection in 2014, and if magazine publisher Phil Steeles 2015 preseason
forecast is any barometer, the Herd could be stacking up more honors
after this season.
Steele named Herd senior Deandre Reaves to his All-America third
team at kick returner. Joining Reaves on Steeles All-C-USA first team are
running back Devon Johnson, offensive tackle Clint Van Horn, linebacker
D.J. Hunter, safety Taj Letman and punter Tyler Williams.
Second team picks by Steele were offensive guard Sebastian Johansson
and cornerback Corey Tindal, with center Michael Selby, wide receiver
Deon-Tay McManus, defensive end Gary Thompson and linebacker Evan
McKelvey on the third team. Safety A.J. Leggett was named to the fourth
team.
The 14 overall selections and six first team picks led all C-USA schools.
More titles
The Sporting News 2015 preseason magazine anointed the Herd in
several special categories among Conference USA teams, including Doc
Holliday as the best recruiting coach and Joan C. Edwards Stadium as the
best C-USA football game venue.
Herd players singled out were senior Davonte Allen as the fastest wide
receiver, running back Devon Johnson as having the best instincts and
wide receiver Raylen Elzy as a top impact freshman.
Lindys preseason guide named Van Horn as one of the leagues top 10
players and the best pass blocker in C-USA. Johnson was picked as the
C-USA Offensive Player of the Year.
Big additions
Marshalls program its entire athletic program, in fact had two big
additions this summer, when the final two facilities funded by the
Vision Campaign for Athletics opened as part of the Chris Cline Athletic
Complex.
In early June, the Buck Harless Student-Athletic Academic Center opened,
giving Herd athletes a welcome place to do their studies outside the
classroom and the campus libraries. The Harless Centers 14,150 square
feet include 98 computer work stations, private tutoring room, a 34-seat
classroom and 75-seat auditorium, among other amenities.
In mid-July, the Marshall University Sports Medicine Institute opened its
doors for Herd athletes as well as the general public. Its a cooperative
effort among MU Athletics, Cabell Huntington Hospitals SMART Center
(Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Therapies), Marshall Orthopaedics
and a hospital-run franchise of Stack Velocity Sports Performance.
The 20,000-square-foot sports Medicine Institute and Harless Center are
adjacent to the MU athletics Hall of Fame room and the Herds indoor
practice facility that houses the 300-meter Jeff Small Track.
BOGACZYK: Hamrick, Holliday Sign Long-Term Extensions: Marshall
University strengthened its stability and continuity in athletics on
Wednesday, as the Thundering Herd signed Athletic Director Mike
Hamrick and football Coach Doc Holliday to long-term contract
extensions.
Hamrick, who returned to his alma mater as AD in July 2009, hired
Holliday in December of that year. Together, the two West Virginia natives
-- Hamrick from Clendenin and Holliday from Hurricane -- have lifted
Herd fortunes through new and enhanced facilities and record-breaking
success on the football field.
The contracts of both men extend until June 30, 2021.
Hamricks six-year extension is for $300,000 annually, a $30,000 raise.
Hollidays six-year deal is for a total package of $755,500 -- up from
$600,000 -- with additional dollars available through incentives tied to

conference championships, bowls and season ticket sales.
for the centerpiece of the campaign, the Chris Cline Athletic Complex.
The university had announced on Dec. 30 that there were agreements

in principle for six-year extensions and enhanced compensation for
Hamrick and Holliday. The formal contracts were revealed today.
The 101,000-square foot Cline Complex includes an indoor facility that

houses a full-length football field and the 300-meter Jeff Small Track; the
Buck Harless Student-Academic Program home (scheduled to open this
summer); the Marshall University Sports Medicine Institute; and the first
Marshall Athletics Hall of Fame.
The renewal of the contracts of Mike Hamrick and Coach Holiday is a

clear indication of their commitment to Marshalls success and growth
in Division I athletics, MU Interim President Gary White said. We are
delighted we were able to successfully negotiate continuations that will
keep Marshall moving forward.
Mike and Doc have stepped up and done their part, and were looking
to our great fans and supporters of Marshall athletics to help us continue
our momentum and success.
Hollidays previous contract, signed in July 2014, paid the coach
$600,000. Last season, he guided the Herd to its first Conference USA
championship, with a 13-1 record and Boca Raton Bowl rout over MidAmerican Conference champ Northern Illinois. Marshall finished Nos.
22/23 in the national polls.
That performance came on the heels of a 10-4 record, C-USA East Division
title and Military Bowl win over Maryland in 2013.
Doc has made Marshall football relevant again for the first time in a
long time, with the success he has had in the last two seasons, Hamrick
said. The recent past -- 23-5, two big bowl wins -- has been great and
the promise of the future is great. He runs an excellent program, with a
commitment to doing things right on and off the field.
We have the premier program in Conference USA and one of the best in
the nation, as the final rankings showed. Thats a credit to Coach Holliday
and his staff, and Im looking forward to us having big success for a long,
long time.
The Vision Campaign also allowed the Herd to build Hoops Family Field at
Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex, a 1,006-seat facility that is one of the
finest in the nation and is used not only by Marshall but other community
organizations.
Hamrick also has enhanced Herd football schedules, scheduling homeand-home series with Purdue, Louisville, NC State, Pitt, East Carolina
and Navy. He also has renewed rivalries with former MAC foes Ohio and
Miami (Ohio).
Hamricks years at Marshall also have included a commitment to NCAA
compliance and academic success, which is displayed through the
NCAAs Academic Progress Rate (APR), graduation rates and C-USA
academic awards for student-athletes.
Im very humbled and appreciative that my alma mater, Marshall
University, would give me the opportunity to continue in a job that I
love, said Hamrick, 57. I appreciate the support Ive received over the
years from Dr. Kopp, who was a great president for us, and now from Gary
White and our Board of Governors.
Our intent is to continue to move forward and continue to build on our
recent success. The university has made a long-term commitment to
Coach Holliday and to me with these contracts, and we are committed
to Marshall. Our fan base and our community want a successful athletic
program, which is what we want.
Were going to be here, and we need more of you to be here, too.
Holliday, who turns 58 on April 21, brings a 40-25 coaching record into
2015, his sixth season guiding the Herd. His teams are 3-0 in bowls and
have won 14 of the last 15 games at Edwards Stadium.
The extension puts Holliday among the top three in football coaching
salaries in Conference USA.
Im as happy as Ive ever been coaching football in my career, right
here now at Marshall University, Holliday said. I just appreciate the
commitment, starting with (late MU President) Dr. (Stephen) Kopp, whos
sadly no longer with us. He gave me the opportunity, along with Mike
Hamrick, and they made the commitment to winning championships
here.
With the great facilities we have now and the opportunity to have and
keep the staff I have now, its just a great, great situation to work in. Gary
White, our interim president, has been very supportive, and Im just really
proud to be the coach here at Marshall.
Mike and I have made a long-term commitment to Marshall and our
community in the Tri-State area. Id hope we can continue to build as we
have, with an increase in support from our community. I hope we can
build our fan base. We play an exciting brand of football, and I hope well
see more fans in the seats in coming seasons at Edwards Stadium.
Hollidays new contract includes a base salary from the university of
$175,000. He also is guaranteed $330,500 annually for appearances on
his weekly radio and TV shows and $200,000 (beginning this July) for
annual appearances at Big Green Scholarship Foundation fundraising
functions.
The contract has a maximum of $100,000 tied to success in C-USA and
bowls, plus an incentive tied to MU football season ticket sales.
Hollidays buyout is $725,000 -- up from $600,000 -- unless he moves to
the head coaching position at state rival West Virginia, his alma mater. In
that case, the buyout increases to $3 million. If Marshall terminates the
contract, the MU buyout is $755,500 for each remaining year of the deal.
Goebbel Named Marshall Tight Ends Coach/Recruiting Coordinator

Marshall football coach Doc Holliday announced Wednesday that Todd
Goebbel will return to the Thundering Herd staff as the teams tight ends
coach and recruiting coordinator.
Goebbel returns to the program after five seasons as the assistant head
coach/offensive coordinator at Ohio Dominican University.
We are happy to welcome Todd back to Marshall, Holliday said. He has
tremendous experience on the offensive side of the ball and in recruiting.
He certainly knows what it means to be a part of this program and the
Huntington community.
Goebbel spent five seasons (2005-09) as the Thundering Herds receivers
coach. During that time, Marshall saw steady improvement among its
receiving corps and in special teams, which Goebbel coached for his first
three years. Under his tutelage, Darius Passmore was named secondteam All-Conference USA in 2009, Emmanuel Spann earned All-CUSA
honors as a kick returner in 2006 and Chubb Small ranked among the
C-USA leaders in the department in 2005.
In 2014, Goebbel led Dominican to an 11-2 mark, an NCAA Regional
Final appearance and a No. 4 finish in both the American Football
Coaches Association (AFCA) and D2Football.com poll. He also directed
quarterback Mark Miller, who finished seventh in the Harlon Hill Trophy
voting, an award that is presented annually to the best player in NCAA
Division II. Goebbels offense averaged 35.6 points and 445.3 yards per
game, led the country in completion percentage (67.9) and was second
nationally in red zone offense (90.9%).
In 2013, ODU finished 10-1 and was Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (GLIAC) champions. Goebbel led an offense that was also top
10 nationally and part of a team that made a second-round appearance
in the Division II playoffs.
Hamrick came to Marshall after AD stints at Arkansas-Little Rock, East

Carolina and UNLV. He will be entering his seventh year as the Herd
athletic chief this summer, and with his leadership Marshall has made
more than $42 million in athletic facility construction and enhancement.
Goebbel directed a high-octane Panther offense in 2012, as ODU finished

amongst the nations best in scoring offense. The Panthers averaged 40.8
points per game, good for 12th in the country, and ranked 13th nationally
in rushing yards (244.9 per game). Ohio Dominican also ranked 27th in
total offense, racking up 452.8 yards per game, and the Panthers had the
eighth-ranked offense in passing efficiency (161.0) while allowing just six
sacks all season, the fifth-best mark in the country.
The former Herd linebacker has spearheaded the ongoing Vision

Campaign, which has raised in excess of $28 million in private funding
Under Goebbels tutelage, ODU has enjoyed its most prolific rushing
attack in school history. Running back Mike Noffsinger set the school
single-season and career rushing records and was honored as a Hill Trophy candidate in 2011. Jeremy Fudge emerged as one of the top dual-threat
quarterbacks in the conference, leading all GLIAC quarterbacks in rushing while also completing over 60 percent of his passes.
The Panthers finished 2011 as the third-best offense in the GLIAC, averaging 31.9 points per game, and were also the third-best rushing offense in
the conference and 27th in the nation at 211.7 yards per game. In his three seasons directing the offense, Goebbel has had 10 players earn All-GLIAC
accolades.
Prior to joining the Marshall football coaching staff, Goebbel served as Ohio States defensive quality control coach for one season. In that role, he
coached the specialists and assisted with special teams, assisted with film breakdown of the opponents, scouting and self-evaluation of the Buckeye
defense. Goebbel helped take the Buckeyes to an 8-4 record that included a win over Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl.
Goebbel, a native of Delaware, Ohio, attended Kent State University and was a three-year starting quarterback for the Golden Flashes, winning MVP
honors as a sophomore in 1996 while being selected as captain as a junior in 1997. Following the 1997 season, Goebbel transferred to Northern Iowa,
where he was the starting quarterback in 1998 and earned Gateway Conference Newcomer of the Year honors. He graduated from Northern Iowa in
1998 and briefly played for the Buffalo Destroyers of the Arena Football League.
He holds a bachelors degree in Physical Education from Northern Iowa and a masters degree in Educational Leadership from Quincy University.
In 1999, Goebbel coached tight ends at the College of Wooster and the following season was named the quarterback and wide receiver coach at
Tiffin University. He coached at Tiffin for two years before moving on to Quincy University, where he served as offensive coordinator and recruiting
coordinator for the 2002 and 2003 seasons. During those two seasons as offensive coordinator, Quincy was ranked 13th and 10th nationally in total
offense.
Goebbel and his wife Sara have two sons, Tyler and Drew.
Former Herd Star Michael Payton to Enter College Football Hall of Fame:
Former Marshall football quarterback Michael Payton was one of 17 players named as part of the 2015 College Football Hall of Fame class by the
National Football Foundation Friday morning.
The 1992 recipient of the Walter Payton Award as the best player in NCAA Division I-AA, Payton led Marshall to its first national championship. Payton
becomes Marshalls sixth College Football Hall of Fame inductee, joining halfback Harry Cy Young (inducted in 1958), halfback Jackie Hunt (2004),
wide receiver Mike Barber (2005), Coach Jim Donnan (2009) and wide receiver Troy Brown (2010). Young is recognized as playing football for Marshall
and Washington & Lee.
A consensus first team All-American as a senior, Payton led the Herd to a 12-3 record and the 1992 Division I-AA national championship after defeating
Youngstown State, which was coached by fellow 2015 College Football Hall of Fame inductee Jim Tressel. In 1991, Payton was the Walter Payton Award
runner-up after leading the nation in passing efficiency (181.3) and taking Marshall to the national championship game.
Payton was twice named Southern Conference Player of the Year and Male Athlete of the Year, and he led the Herd to the 1992 conference title.
For more than 20 years, Payton held the Division I-AA record for most passing yards in a half, and he currently ranks in the top four in almost every
statistical passing category in Marshall history. A two-time first team all-conference selection and a team captain in 1992, he finished his career with
689 completions for 9,411 yards and 69 touchdowns.
Inducted into the Marshall University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999, Payton played for coaches George Chaump and Donnan and was teammates with
Brown during his career in Huntington, W.Va. He was named West Virginia Athlete of the Year and Man of the Year in 1991 and 1992.
Im still on the ballot, said Payton in an October 2012 interview with HerdZone.coms Jack Bogaczyk. Just getting that far, to me is a great thing, and
people have told me to be patient. Troy is in there, Coach Donnan is in there.
People say I have the stats. We won a championship. I won the Walter Payton Award, which was great. I think its all there. You just have to be patient.
When youre a father (son, Donovan, is 11), you have to be patient, Payton said, laughing, That, and when youre coaching youth football.
After spending part of 1993 with the Dallas Cowboys, Payton played two seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football
League before finishing his career with the Florida Bobcats of the Arena Football League in 1996. The Harrisburg, Pa., native is active in DARE and
the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Payton is currently a senior staff counselor at Alternative Rehabilitation Communities in Pennsylvania, and he
serves as a personal trainer and life coach.

THE LAST MEETING...
Marshall Downs Kent State, 27-17 (Oct. 16, 2004)

KENT, Ohio - Behind two touchdowns from freshman
Ahmad Bradshaw, the Thundering Herd scored 20
unanswered points to down the Kent State Golden Flashes
27-17 to improve to 3-0 in the Mid-American Conference.
Marshall (3-3, 3-0 MAC) got off to a slow start in the first half
and trailed the Golden Flashes 17-7 heading into halftime,
but used a strong defensive effort led by senior Jamus
Martin with three sacks to shutout Kent in the second half.
The Herd remains the only unbeaten team in MAC East
play, while the Flashes fall to 1-6, 0-4 in the MAC.
We challenged our guys at halftime and they stepped
up and met that challenge and made some plays in the
second half, Marshall head coach Bob Pruett said.
The Herd got a break early in the second half when the
Golden Flashes were flagged for an illegal kicking penalty
for attempting to punt the ball from the ground. As a
result, Herd received the ball on the Kent State three yardline and punched it in two plays later on Bradshaws first
touchdown from one yard out to cut the lead to 17-14.
Marshall then picked up the lead two possessions later on
a 75-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Stan Hill to
Bradshaw to put the Herd up 21-17 with 6:35 remaining in
the third quarter.
Ian OConnor tacked on two field goals of 26, and 24 yards
under intense windy conditions to set the final score at
27-17.
Defensively, the Herd shut out Joshua Cribbs in the second
half and received strong efforts from a host of players.
Senior lineman Reggie Hayes led the way with eight tackles
and 2.5 tackles for a loss. Defensive ends, Jamus Martin
and Johnathan Goddard both recorded seven tackles, with
Goddard continuing his stellar play with 1.5 sacks for a
loss of 15 yards and 2.5 total tackles for a loss of 16 yards.
Martin added two sacks of his own and 2.5 tackles for a
total loss of 18 yards.
Marshalls secondary finished the night with three
interceptions. Willie Smith, Roberto Terrell, and Chris Royal
all managed to intercept Cribbs.
Offensively, MU freshman running back Ahmad Bradshaw
finished the day with three catches for 92 yards and a
score. He also carried the ball seven times for 11 yards and
a touchdown. Senior Earl Charles rushed for 67 yards on
14 carries.
Marshalls Hill finished 9-of-23 passing for 143 yards,
a touchdown, and one interception. Senior Graham
Gochneaur, who sparked the Herds first scoring drive after
entering the game on Marshalls third possession, finished
6-of-12 for 55 yards and a score.
Kents Cribbs finished the night 13-of-34 for 122 yards,
three interceptions, and one touchdown. He rushed the
ball sixteen times for 37 yards.
Doc Holliday
Head Coach - Sixth Season
(42-26 overall, 27-13 C-USA)
In five seasons, Marshall Coach John Doc Holliday has brought Thundering Herd football
back into the national picture.
His 2014 Herd (13-1) won the schools first Conference USA Championship with a thrilling
comeback, title-game win over Louisiana Tech. MU headed to the Boca Raton Bowl, where
it routed Mid-American Conference champion Northern Illinois, 52-23. The Herd finished
the season in the major polls No. 22 in the USA Today Coaches poll and No. 23 in the
Associated Press media poll.
The Herd coach was named the 2014 Conference USA Coach of the Year in voting by his
peers.
Holliday received a six-year contract extension (through July 2021) for $755,500 annually
on April 8. He takes a 40-25 record into the 2015 season, and the Herd has won 19 of its
last 21 games overall and 14 of the last 15 at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
The 2014 title season followed a successful 2013, as Marshall went 10-4, won the C-USA
East Division crown and downed ACC member Maryland in the Military Bowl -- the Terps last game before heading to the Big Ten.
In December 2014, Holliday was named the 15th annual Gazette-Mail Sportsman of the Year by Charleston Newspapers. In April
2015, the Herd coach was honored as the 2014 Lowell Cade Sportsperson of the Year by The Herald-Dispatch (Huntington).
Holliday, named as Herd coach on Dec. 17, 2009 in his first collegiate head coaching job, is widely regarded as one of the top
recruiters in the nation. He has more than 30 years of collegiate coaching experience, including previous stops at Florida, North
Carolina State and West Virginia, his alma mater.
Marshall displayed balance on offense and a strong defense throughout the 2014 season and boasted 10 all-conference first team
selections as voted by C-USA coaches, as star players like quarterback Rakeem Cato, center Chris Jasperse, defensive tackle James
Rouse and cornerback Darryl Roberts were team leaders.
In 2013, Holliday took the Herd where it hadnt been in its previous eight years in Conference USA nine regular-season victories,
seven league wins and a berth in the C-USA title game, mostly on the strength of an unblemished 6-0 mark at home for the first
time since 2002.
The Herds 31-20 win over Maryland was one of only two bowl victories by teams from non-AQ BCS conference teams over BCS
league schools in the 2013 postseason. Marshall also boasted the best (scoring) defensive turnaround in the nation (19.9 fewer
points allowed per game).
In five seasons, Hollidays program has had 33 All-Conference USA
selections (first and second team, and honorable mention), including
17 this season.
During his time in Huntington, Hollidays teams have consistently
improved as the season stretches into the winter months. The Herd is
21-6 under Holliday after Oct. 29, including an eye-popping 12-1 mark
in the friendly confines of Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
In 2011, the Herd went 7-6 against the 16th-toughest schedule in the
nation, a slate that was ranked second among non-BCS schools. Two of
those victories came against eventual C-USA champion Southern Miss
and Big East co-champ Louisville, the latter coming on the road for the
programs first non-conference road win since the early 2000s. Marshall
also won five Conference USA games, the most for the program since it
had joined the league in 2005.
During his coaching career, Holliday has coached in 23 bowl games,
three national championship games and coached 12 players that have
gone on to the National Football League. He has also coached five AllAmericans.
A native of Hurricane, W.Va., Holliday was a three-year letter-winner at
linebacker at West Virginia (1976-78) and has earned bachelors (1979)
and masters (1981) degrees from WVU. He won a state high school
wrestling title at 175 pounds (all divisions) in 1975 at Hurricane.
Holliday and his wife, Diana, have four children -- Meghan, Cade, Chase
and Cody.
