I still remember the first week I was on campus 2002, Byron told me it didn’t matter how big I was or how strong my arm was if I couldn’t break a defense down within a 25 second play clock. From that day forward, my approach to the game changed forever.

It’s officially 75 Week at Marshall. The threads pull tighter. The bond grows stronger. The fire within burns hotter.
“These are our brothers. We will play for them each and every Saturday. We will raise Championship trophies in their honor. We will hang banners in their name.”
My Freshman year. One of the greatest games I can remember from college beating Miami OH and Ben Roethlisberger in the last seconds. Another season of dominating the MAC Conference.

After a slow start this morning, we played Douglass football the way we know how to and worked our way to the semi-finals. Very proud of how far we came today among a tournament of 48 teams.

Leftwich throws for 469 Yards
Josh Davis had 11 catches 264 yards.
After the game he was displeased saying "I am still upset with myself. I don't think I had a good game "I guess you could say it was first-game jitters.”
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an overall speed of a high school team the way I saw it working today. Im excited to see these guys with pads on.

Seein more & more local KY teams cancelling their district games with Lex teams and blaming Covid, yet turn around the same week and schedule a smaller county school to play. Dont get mad when said Lex school hangs 90 on them next year.

I was right there on the sidelines with Byron that day. Pure guts and passion for our team. Bein in the film room with him everyday my freshman season helped me understand the game more than anyone I’ve ever played next to. Happy for him and for his future ahead.

I have a hard time respecting the opinion and especially accepting criticism of those who have never played the QB position. Until a person has stood in the pocket, felt the pressure of someone out to inflict pain, & reading coverage all within 2-3 seconds, jus chill...
Impressive Performance all around. Almost graded out at a 100% (and I grade my QBs tough). Everything from RPO reads to down field reads were almost flawless. 10/13 218 yds 3 TDs in just a half of playing time. This was against a fast 6A team! Colleges wake up!!!

🔥It takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert D-Lineman.
You can expedite this by taking mental reps (like 59) when you’re waiting to take physical ones.

I need ALL ATHLETES to watch these two professionals playing at the highest level of their sport! Look at the eye contact, body language, humility, respect, and willingness to learn as their coach passionately holds them accountable for their mistakes. Be coachable!

Just a reminder for tomorrow night as we celebrate 29 outstanding seniors and their families, hope we will see a huge crowd to support them.
Senior Night program begins @ 6:30pm! Broncos vs. MOCO Indians on Friday, Oct. 21st, kickoff @ 7:30pm.
Success is never given! It’s earned through payment of time, payment of sacrifice, and payment of consistent discipline along the way. Rent was due today, and the man was paid!

In college, we (QBs) would have already broken down the first 5 games by the end of June. What does that mean? - blitz tendencies, coverages by formation and down/distance,returning players, redzone D. HS QBs, how is your summer going??

Overstriding locks the hips and leads to no weight transfer. The ability to snap the hips forward becomes near impossible. You can see Brady’s weight transferring at the hip but Wentz’s not so much. I emphasize this daily with all QBs I work with
Kids have competed hard down here in Alabama vs some amazing teams from around the country. Pool play we finished 14/32 teams today. Tournament begins tomorrow.
