and his staff -- Offense: Michael Selby, center; Ryan Yurachek, tight end;
Defense: Taj Letman, safety; Evan McKelvey, linebacker. Selby leads the team
with seven captain selections in nine games in 2015.

Passes Intercepted (12)
Kickoff Coverage (41.8 net average)
Touchbacks (33)
PAT Percentage (1.000, 27-27)
Defensive tackle Jarquez Samuels sack on Charlottes first series was the

Individually, Evan McKelveys 88 tackles is eighth nationally and first in the

league by four. Also, Deandre Reaves boasts a league-leading 27.8 kick return
average and Taj Letmans three interceptions are tied for the league lead, as
are Corey Tindals 11 pass breakups.
Wide receiver Davonte Allens 66-yard touchdown reception from quarterback

Chase Litton (6:30, first quarter) is the Herds longest completion this season.
It also was Allens 12th career touchdown catch, moving him into a tie for No.
21 all-time at Marshall with Andre Motley (1988-90).
Polling
The Thundering Herd received five points in the latest Amway/USA Today
Coaches Poll, effectively placing the program 36th nationally.
Tyler Williams 54-yard punt (4 mins, first quarter) was his 18th punt of 50 or
more yards this season and the 56th of his career.
Marshalls nine-play, 97-yard touchdown drive (13:27 second, Litton-toYurachek TD) is the Herds longest drive by yardage this season, topping an
89-yarder against North Texas one week earlier.
Tight end Emanuel Byrds 41-yard reception (early second quarter) is the
longest by a Herd tight end since Devon Johnson had a 52-yarder against East
Carolina on Nov. 29, 2013 the Herds first C-USA East Division-clinching win.
Placekicker Nick Smiths 37-yard field goal miss (13:04, third quarter) ended
his streak at 12th straight field goal, and Marshalls at 19 in a row. Smiths 12 in
a row puts him No. 2 on the Herd all-time list for consecutive successful field
goal tries. Craig Ratanamorn made the school record 16 in a row with his last
two in 2008 and first 14 in 2009. Justin Haig made his final seven last season
prior to Smiths streak. The last miss was Haigs 23-yarder in the first quarter
(11:26) against UAB at Legion Field on Nov. 22, 2014.
Quarterback Chase Littons 486 pass yards ranks third in Herd single-game
history. Only Byron Leftwich (576, GMAC Bowl, 2001 vs. East Carolina) and
Michael Payton (496, VMI, 1991) have thrown for more yards in a Marshall
game.
Wide receiver Davonte Allen made 12 catches for 232 yards, the most for the
program since Josh Davis had a 264-yard day against Appalachian State in
2002. The 232 ranks sixth in Herd single-game receiving history. Randy Moss
owns the record of 288 yards versus Delaware in 1996 Division I-AA playoffs.
The yardage numbers posted by Litton and Allen who had a 66-yard scoring
catch -- were single-game highs in Conference USA this season.
Cornerback Corey Tindals fourth-quarter interception was his second this
season and third of his career.
Leaves Fall, Herd Wins

The Herd is 22-6 after Oct. 28 in Doc Hollidays five-plus years as head coach,
including a 12-1 mark at home.
The Best...and...
Among Group of Five programs, Marshall has the best winning percentage in
the 2014-15 seasons. A look at the top G5 teams during that span:

2014 -- Marshall entered 2015 owning one of the best FBS totals in that twoplus-season span. Currently, only three FBS teams have more victories since
the start of the 2013 season.
Florida State-34
Ohio State-34
Michigan State-32
Marshall-31
Next Man Up
Coach Holliday talks frequently about the programs Next Man Up
philosophy as it relates to reserves playing well in place of injured starters. Its
been a season-long situation for Hollidays team, which continues to endure
through depth. The Herd has had 34 players start on offense or defense in
2015 -- 19 of those on the offensive side.
Efficiency at its best
The Herd has averaged more yards per play than the opposition in 22 of its
last 24 games (Ohio and Kent State in 2015).
Marshall has won 22 of its last 24 games and 27 of its last 30.
Marshall is 22-6 in games played after Oct. 28 in Coach Doc Hollidays fiveplus years a coach, including 12-1 at Edwards Stadium.
Marshall has won eight consecutive Conference USA regular-season road
games.

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 Texas-based
league when Holliday arrived is Rices David Bailiff.
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.
Holliday is 48-26 (.649) in five-plus seasons. The only coaches in his hiring
class with better records are Fisher (65-12, .844) and Kelly (52-21, .713).
Holliday received a six-year contract extension this past spring, through June
2021, bumping his base and supplemental salary to $755,500.
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 35-6
when it scores first, 35-3 when leading after the first quarter, 38-2 when
leading at halftime and 37-3 when leading after three quarters.
10+
Since the start of the 2012 season (49 games), MU boasts 911 10+ yard plays,
an average of 18.6 per contest. As you might imagine, those numbers have
yielded the following: In that same period, offensive coordinator Bill Leggs
attack has 28 games of 500 or more yards total offense and 27 games with 40
or more points.
Feel The Rush
With a 105-yard effort by Hyleck Foster vs. North Texas, the Herd has 22 of
those 100-yard rushing performances in the last 23 games, and 33 in the last
37 games.
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 85.0 percent (147-26) of its
home games in Joan C. Edwards Stadium, the second-highest mark in the
country. Baylor, who is in just its second season in McLane Stadium, is first at
10-0 (1.000). Marshall has won 19 of its last 20 home games, dating to an Oct.
27, 2012 loss to UCF (last two home games in 2012, 6-0 in 2013, 6-1 in 2014,
5-0 this season).
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 44.0-yard average over his
three-plus seasons. The school record of 43.4 belongs to Pat Velarde (198283). And only 68 of Williams 195 career punts have been returned, or 1 for
every 2.9 kicks.
In three-plus seasons, Williams has had 57 punts of 50 or more yards, including
12 of 60-plus. He has placed 63 inside the 20, with only 21 touchbacks.
Williams has been especially clutch in 2015, as he is second nationally with 22
kicks that have been downed inside the 20. Williams 54 punts rank seventh
nationally, and his 2,427 yards ranks sixth.
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.
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).
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 2,217 career kick return yards. The school mark that lasted nearly
four decades was Ray Crisps. who posted 1,966 yards from 1975-78.
Reaves has gotten his kick runback yardage in the last two-plus seasons.
He didnt have a kick return as a freshman in 2012. He has two career kick
returns for touchdowns, both for 93 yards (vs. Northern Illinois-2014, at Kent
State-2015).
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 four in the win over Charlotte, the Herd streak is 137 when the Marshall
faces Middle Tennessee on Saturday. Marshall had a streak of 156 straight
when Haig missed in 2013.
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 48-26 record. When Marshall has
an edge in turnover margin, it is 27-4. When the turnover number is equal,
Marshall is 11-4. But when the opponent is more sure-handed, the Herd is
10-18.
Of Marshalls 74 games under Holliday, the Herd has played 37 while
producing zero or one turnover.
Favored
When Alabama kicked off as the underdog against Georgia on Oct. 3, it
snapped the Crimson Tides 72-game streak of being the favorite, according
to Covers.com. The Thundering Herd now holds the distinction of having the
longest such streak...33 games. Next is Oklahoma (21) and TCU (16). Marshalls
streak could be in jeopardy this week, however, as Middle Tennessee is
currently (as of Sunday, 10:37 p.m. ET) favored by one point.
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.
Perfect vs. Texas at Home
Interestingly enough, Marshall has never lost to a school from Texas at home.
The Thundering Herd is a perfect 12-0 against Texas schools in games played
in Huntington. Marshall owns two wins over North Texas (1988, 2015), 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, 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.
North Texas Notes

and his staff -- Offense: Michael Selby, center; Davonte Allen, wide receiver;

Herd. Justin Haig made his final seven last season. The last miss was Haigs
23-yarder in the first quarter (11:26) against UAB at Legion Field on Nov. 22,
2014.
Running back Hyleck Foster had 105 rushing yards on 17 carries. It is the 22nd
time in the last 22 games and 33rd time in the last 36 games that Marshall has
had a 100-yard rushing performance. It is Fosters second in as many weeks.
Marshall has won 19 of its last 20 home games, dating to an Oct. 27, 2012
loss to UCF (last two home games in 2012, 6-0 in 2013, 6-1 in 2014, 5-0 this
season).
The Herd has allowed only five TDs in four league wins this month, ranking
in the top five nationally. Marshall also has gained 11 turnovers in those four
games, also a top-five FBS number.
Isabelle Izzy Rogner, the Marshall Student Government Association vice
president and a Herd cross country and track and field runner, was voted Miss
Marshall for Homecoming 2015. Rogner is a junior from Lewisburg, W.Va. Mr.
Marshall was Nigel Wallace, a senior from Logan, W.Va.
Florida Atlantic Notes

and staff, are tight end Ryan Yurachek and center Michael Selby on offense,
cornerback Corey Tindal and linebacker Evan McKelvey on defense, and
punter Tyler Williams.

Chase Littons 61-yard touchdown pass to Deandre Reaves is the 10th scoring
pass by Litton in his fourth start, a Marshall school record for a quarterbacks
first four starts. The 61-yarder also was the longest pass play of the Herd
season and the longest since Angelo Jean-Louis caught 77- and 61-yarders
from Rakeem Cato in last seasons win over Ohio on Sept. 13, 2014.
Defensive end Ryan Bees fumble recovery (4:42, third quarter) is his second
in as many weeks.
Punter Tyler Williams 53-yard kick late in third quarter is his 20th inside the 20
this season, which leads the FBS in that category. It also is his 13th punt of 50
or more yards in 2015.
Defensive tackle Jarquez Samuels fumble return for a touchdown is
Marshalls first fumble-to-touchdown since defensive end RaShawde Myers
had one on Nov. 22 last season in a win at UAB. Samuels touchdown was the
eighth defensive touchdown for the Herd in coordinator Chuck Heaters three
seasons at Marshall.
Cornerback Rodney Allens interception (9:22, fourth quarter) is the first of his
Marshall career.
Nick Mullens 58 pass attempts (1:39 left) rank fifth for a Herd opposing
quarterback. The record is 64 by Ryan Griffin of Tulane in 2010.
The last time consecutive foes had so few points against the Herd came before
Marshall joined C-USA in 2005. In the final two games of 2003, the Herd won
at UCF, 21-7, then closed an 8-4 season at home with a 28-0 spanking of Ohio.
The five Southern Miss turnovers were the most the Herd has gained since
UAB had five giveaways in an October 2011 loss at The Joan.
The five unsuccessful fourth-down attempts were the most by a Marshall
opponent in at least the last 16 years of Thundering Herd football.
Old Dominion Notes
The National Anthem in the pregame Military Appreciation Day ceremony
was sung by Beckleys Aretha Gaye Franklin Van Horn, a retired U.S. Army
Captain and the mother of Herd All-Conference USA right tackle Clint Van
Horn.
Marshall game captains versus Old Dominion, as selected by Coach Doc
Holliday and his staff, were center Michael Selby and tight end Ryan Yurachek
on offense, and linebacker Evan McKelvey and nose tackle Jarquez Samuel on
defense. It is Selbys team-leading fourth captaincy of the 2015 season.
Redshirt sophomore running back Tony Pittman made his first career start for
Marshall.
Nick Smiths third point-after-touchdown of the game was the 122nd straight
conversion for the Herd. The last miss was by Justin Haig on Nov. 23, 2013, at
FIU. Smith is 25-for-25 on kicks this season (6-of-6 FG and 19-of-19 PAT).
Corey Tindals first-quarter interception was the second of his career (first this
season). The pick by Kendall Gant to end the game was Marshalls eighth of
the season.
Redshirt freshman defensive end Ryan Bee had the first two sacks of his Herd
career, both in the second quarter. He finished the game with 12 tackles,
making him only the seventh Herd defensive lineman with at least that many
stops in a game since 1997.
Tyler Williams had four punts inside the 20 in the game, giving him 18 of those
this season. Thats already the seniors most inside-the-20 punts in a season,
topping his 16 as a 2012 freshman.
Tight end Ryan Yuracheks 31-yard reception (9:10, third quarter) is the
longest in his two Herd seasons.
Yurachek and slot receiver Deandre Reaves each had a career-high six
receptions against the Monarchs.
Pittmans 127-yard rushing day against ODU gives Marshall 19 100-yard

rushing performances in the last 19 games.
Redshirt sophomore Tony Pittmans two carries on the first-quarter

touchdown drive are his first of the season.
Smiths 39-yard field goal (11:10 remaining) is the 13th consecutive field goal
conversion for Marshall.
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.
Smith is 6-for-6 this season and Justin Haig made his final seven last season.
The last miss was Haigs 23-yarder in the first quarter (11:26) against UAB at
Legion Field on Nov. 22, 2014.
Pittmans 32 rushes are the most for a Herd running back in a single game
since Darius Marshall rushed 32 times for 133 yards against UAB in 2009.
The seven points for ODU are the fewest allowed by Marshall in a Conference
USA game since a 27-7 win over UAB in 2009.
ODUs 2.8 yards per pass is the fewest Marshall has allowed since UCF
managed just 1.7 in a 30-14 UCF win in Joan C. Edwards Stadium on Nov. 15,
2008.
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).
In the second quarter, Tony Pittmans reception for eight yards on a first down
was the first of his career.
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).
Marshall has won 17 of its last 18 games at home.
Deandre Reaves had a career-high 82 yards against Norfolk State. His 36-yard
touchdown reception is his longest reception of his career.
Kent State Notes

Marshall game captains at Kent State, as selected by Coach Doc Holliday and
his staff, were running back Devon Johnson and wide receiver Deandre Reaves
on offense and safety Taj Letman and linebacker D.J. Hunter on defense.
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.
Antwan Dixons 47-yard run for Kent States first touchdown (11:33, first
quarter) is the longest run against the Marshall defense this season.
Herd running back Tony Pittmans two touchdowns (3:54, first quarter; double
overtime) were his first this season, and the second and third, respectively, of
his career (first at Southern Miss, 2014).
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

his second career kick return for a touchdown, matching his career long of 93
for a touchdown in last years Boca Raton Bowl victory.
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.
Reaves kick return touchdown was the third in Coach Doc Hollidays fiveplus Marshall seasons Reaves two and a 100-yarder by Troy Evans versus
Southern Miss in 2010.
Linebacker Evan McKelveys third-quarter fumble recovery was the first of his
Herd career.
Tyler Williams 12 punts are his career high number, topping nine in the loss at
Ohio on Sept. 12 (two weeks ago).
Tight end Ryan Yuracheks 17-yard touchdown catch (12:32, fourth quarter)
gave him four receptions on the day, matching his career high (multiple
times).
Twenty-four punts by the teams combined (Marshall 12-562, Kent State 12515) ties a Marshall record set on Sept. 14, 1985 at Fairfield Stadium, a 31-7
Marshall win over Ohio (Herd 10-368; Ohio 14-601).
Junior wide receiver Justin Hunt caught his first touchdown of the year , a
25-yarder, at 9:22 in the fourth quarter.
True freshman wide receiver Nick Mathews (nine yards) made the first catch
of his career at 7:39 of the fourth quarter.

Golden Eagles 35-0 in the second half.
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.
Tyler Williams 562 punt yards in the game (12 kicks) breaks the Herd singlegame record for punt yards belonging to Bob Eshbaugh, 513 vs. Western
Michigan in 1972 (Eshbaugh had 14 punts).
Junior Devontrea Tyler made his first career start at middle linebacker for the
Herd.
Marshall is 8-6 all-time in overtime (includes Division I-AA era). The Herd is 5-6
in FBS era in overtime, the first of those being the win in 2001 GMAC Bowl.
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).
Norfolk State Notes

Captains for the game were Jarquez Samuel, Corey Tindal, Davonte Allen and
Michael Selby.
Redshirt freshman right guard Jordan Dowrey made his first career start for
the Herd.
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.
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.
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).
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 (1993-96).
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

LAST MEETING
BOGACZYK: Cato Gets NCAA Record; Herd Rolls to 6-0 (10/11/14)
By JACK BOGACZYK
HERDZONE.COM COLUMNIST
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - The big numbers continued to add up for Marshall on another football Saturday.
The Herd remained the only team in major college football to score at least 40 points in every game in 2014,
as Coach Doc Hollidays unbeaten club rolled to a 49-24 Conference USA victory over Middle Tennessee on
Homecoming at Edwards Stadium.
And while the Herd (6-0, 2-0) gained an 11th consecutive home win with a 20th performance of 500-yardsplus in the last 32 games, it was another consecutive streak that made the afternoon extra special.
With a 26-yard scoring pass in the first minute of the second quarter, Herd quarterback Rakeem Cato tied
the NCAA major college record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass. At 38 and counting, hes tied
for the FBS record with Russell Wilson, who reached that number from 2009-11 at NC State and Wisconsin.
Only four NCAA quarterbacks have longer TD-game streaks, and all played at lower levels than the Herd
senior from Miami, who heads to his hometown and a date at FIU next Saturday night with a chance to
break the mark.
Of course, thats all background noise to Cato, who enjoys much more the notion that the Herd is unbeaten
and has a chance on Sunday to make the national polls for the first time since the 2002 Herd finished an
11-2 season after as GMAC Bowl win over Louisville at Nos. 19 (coaches) and 24 (AP media) in the final polls.
Its a blessing to tie Russell Wilson, Cato said of the QB who led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl XLVIII
title last winter. I think Russells a great quarterback; hes someone I look at on my own time. I just want to
thank Coach (Doc) Holliday and Coach (Bill) Legg for putting me in the position week-in, week-out so I can
throw it to those guys.
Its not just me. Look at my offensive line. They do a heck of a job, improving every day, getting better. The
will on our offensive side of the ball, all the guys, thanks to them. Without those guys, theres no consecutive
touchdown passes thrown.
I get to be around a good group of guys, and as long as I can do that, Ill keep achieving minor records and
minor goals.
The Herd had 589 yards total offense against the Blue Raiders (4-3, 3-1) - a team most Herd players regarded
the best team MU has faced. Cato was a pedestrian - for him - 17-of-33 passing for 337 yards and three
touchdowns. The Herds only two turnovers were a Cato interception and fumble.
The Herd was again without injured outside receiver Davonte Allen and lost freshman Angelo Jean-Louis to
a rib injury in the first quarter. But Cato kept on pitching, hitting fellow senior Wilkins for two scores among
seven pass catchers.
Im very proud to be part of that record; Ive been around Cato a long time, said Wilkins, the Hialeah, Fla.,
native who led Marshall with five catches for 77 yards. Hopefully hell be able to break it next week, down
at home. That would be a very special moment there.
Cato certainly wasnt the whole story for the Herd.
Running back Devon Johnson tractored his way through the Blue Raiders for 134 rushing yards and
three touchdowns. It was his fifth 100-yard ground game in six this season. Johnson now has 11 rushing
touchdowns on the season. The last Herd back with more was Ahmad Bradshaws 19 in 2006.
And the Herd defense was strong again when it counted most, Middle Tennessee was only 3-of-14 on third
down conversions.
Linebacker Neville Hewitt had 14 Herd tackles, the most for a Marshall player since D.J. Hunter turned in
18 in the double-overtime loss at East Carolina to end the 2012 season. Safety A.J. Leggett had his third
interception of the season, as the Herd played with a verve rooted in last seasons 51-49, last-play loss at
Middle.
We went out with the mindset we werent going to let that happen again, Hewitt said. Thats how we set
the tone. We want to go out there first and get a stop and turn it over to the offense.
And thats what Hollidays team has pretty much done, with the MU defense on the field for the first series
in all six games. The results?
On those first series, the six foes have gained 7, minus-7, 84, 36, 13 and minus-1 yards - or 132 yards in 30
plays. The 84 was Ohios first drive on Sept. 14 - and 53 of those came on the first play of the game, but the
Herd stiffened in the red zone and the Bobcats missed a 19-yard field goal.

While opponents have gotten zero points from those drives (five punts and a missed FG), the Marshall
offense has followed with 31 points -- four touchdowns and a field goal in the last five games, after punting
on its first possession in an opening triumph at Miami (Ohio), where the Herd scored a TD the second time
it had the ball.
They are playing extremely well, Holliday said of the Herd defense. We put them in a bad situation in the
second half and it is not acceptable ... They are well coached; they tackle well. They are athletic and can run.
I thought some guys stepped up today. We had some injuries, and we had some other guys step up. That is
what good football teams do.
The Herd is 12-1 since that loss last season at Middle Tennessee - the C-USA title game defeat at Rice last
December -- and Leggett said one reason for that is Hollidays team knows how to handle adversity when
we face it now. We just need to keep on doing what were doing, playing hard, playing together.
Holliday said hes excited about where we are at this point ... This football team is a special bunch. These kids
like each other. They are fun to be around. They care about each other. That is why we are good.
They trust each other and when something happens to one of them, it hurts all of them. They think a lot of
each other, they trust each other, they care about each other, and thats why we are playing the way we are.
Legg, the Herds offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, called Catos NCAA record-tying day cool,
but said the reason the senior QB is the kind of player who can reach such achievements is that Cato can
compartmentalize.
UPCOMING CONFERENCE USA SCHEDULE (all times ET)
The most important thing is were 1-0 this week, and 6-0 on this season and hes going to tell you the same
thing, the veteran Herd coordinator said. That record? Somewhere down the line well sit down and look
back and well reminisce and well talk about `Wow, thats very impressive, very impressive, you know? Right
now, its about 1-0 to make us 6-0.
Friday, Nov. 6
Rice at UTEP, 8 p.m. ET (CBSSN)
The best thing he did is manage the game, took what they gave him. He forced one or two things, which
I got on him on the phone (prom the coaches box upstairs) a little bit, but youre always going to have one
of those once in a while. Youre never going to be perfect; youd like for it to be, but none of us is perfect.

Still, it was awfully good decision-making, putting us in the right play. He checked a number of times today
that made a huge difference, whether it was getting a first down, creating a big play or putting the ball into
the end zone. The (second) TD pass to Craig, that was Rakeems (call).
He does the things you want your quarterback to do, from the neck up. And all the stuff from the neck
down is between what God gave him and all of the hard work hes put into it. That shines, because of what
hes doing from the neck up. The thing that Im most proud of Rakeem doing is and Im most pleased with is
what he does from the neck down, managing things.
Hollidays reference point on Cato wasnt so much a guy who has won a Super Bowl, but two quarterbacks
who were the two to guide Marshall teams that had the kind of season like this one.
Ive said it many times, how proud I am of what this kid has accomplished, Holliday said. He took some
criticism early on, but the people who criticized him didnt know him. He is a tremendous kid.
Where he has come from and overcome it is unbelievable for him, and he deserves everything he gets
because he is great for Marshall University. Look what has come from Marshall. You talk about Chad
Pennington and Byron (Leftwich), and now you can put Cato in those same words and terms. It is just
unbelievable. I am glad he is on our team.
And Cato is glad he is part of the Herd.
Its a blessing, Cato said of the opportunity to take the NCAA record in his own backyard next week. But
were going down there for a business trip. Its not about my record. Its about one thing, and thats getting
a W.
If I get the record, that would be a great deal, but if I dont, just get the W. If I dont get the record but we get
the win, Ill stay a proud man, still the same quarterback like I am every week.
Doc Holliday
Head Coach - Sixth Season
(48-26 overall, 32-13 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.
