Marshall is without deep threat Aaron Dobson, now with the New England Patriots. Yes they have new but very unproven talent. Tommy Shuler is the only returning starting WR.

In addition to Dobson, outside receiver Antavious Wilson also graduated, meaning there will be several players trying to get acclimated to every-down repetitions in the early part of the season.

Defensive end/linebacker Wes Williams leads a Miami defense that enters this game healthy, which was not the case last year.

After losing their school's record holding quarterback to graduation, the RedHawks turn to Austin Boucher who has only attempted 23 total passes over the past two seasons. We are worried more about defensive scores, because the offenses will not put it over.
