It was an unbelievable performance for a guy who only practiced two or three times and didn't take a live rep and went in there Friday and played 70-plus plays and had 13 tackles. There was more to it than us just not being very good on offense. When you look at the time of possession in the second half, it was awful (in Boise's favor). Now, we kept them out of the end zone defensively, but they sustained drives. It's a combination of both of those things. That being said, we have to get off the field on defense as well and give our offense a chance to get back out there and make some plays. We had three or four situations where they had third and long and we have to get them stopped defensively to put the offense back out there. We didn't get off the field, defensively, on third down either.
Number one, we didn't convert on third down to continue drives. There are two things that happened (on Friday). Offensively, we have to do a much better job. Every time we play them, they are the same type of team that is extremely disciplined, well-coached with good players and this year is no different. They get after you and they're just like their coach (Solich). They're all 300 (pounds) or 310 and are tough and physical. He's going to have to play well and he has. Football is really important to him and he takes the time to work at his game. He was a good player for us a year ago on special teams and played some linebacker as well. Those guys have to have a great week of preparation and practice because they're going to have to play. Eli Neal and J'Coryan Anderson are going to have to play for us at some point. We have some young linebackers who have to step up. They're going to have to play that well again and Tyler Brown went in there and did some really good things. Those two guys played really well last Friday night. (Tavante) started to get his feet wet a little bit. I thought Omari (Cobb) made the transition to playing inside really well.
They're a challenge for everyone because they just don't make mistakes. They're just so well-coached and play so hard. They're tough, physical and don't give up the big play.

They're all just really, really good football players that know how to play the game. I'm sure he'll be healthy against us and ready to go. I guess he was sick in that game so they didn't run him probably as much as they would've. I thought Pittsburgh did a good job of stopping the run. If you're going to pressure him, you better have a guy assigned to him, because if he gets out of (the pocket), he's a problem. That will be another part of the offense that we have to deal with. There are a lot of designed quarterback runs for him. The difference between this guy and (Bachmeier) is that he (Rourke) runs better.
This guy (Rourke) is very similar, just a competitor that stands in there and takes some shots. On how Marshall fared against Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier:Įspecially with Chris (Jackson) being out, and I think we'll have him back this week, I thought our guys did pretty well as far as their throwing game was concerned.
He makes every throw as well and that's what makes him a real problem. Tettleton reminds of me of Brent Stockstill at Middle and this guy is the same way. Tettleton gave us fits and this guy is very, very similar. On similarities between Rourke and former Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton: They look like a typical Ohio team: tough, physical, extremely well-coached. He can also beat you through the air because he can throw the ball extremely well. He's an excellent player who can beat you with his feet. When you talk about them, you start with the quarterback (Nathan) Rourke. They were picked to win the Mid-American Conference by their peers, and if you watch them on tape, they have really good players. I have great respect for what Coach (Frank) Solich has done there. We're looking forward to those guys providing leadership this week. Captains this week are Brenden Knox and Levi Brown on offense and Marquis Couch and Omari Cobb on defense.
