Marshall's schedule last year was very weak. Even as they were piling up wins, the criticism was who have they played.....
Schedules not earning respect for Marshall
...In 2012, MU's strength of schedule was ranked No. 90. In 2013, it was No. 103 followed by No. 122 in 2014 and No. 128 in 2015.
When Marshall's strength of schedule was among the top 100 in 2012, the Herd's record was 5-7. Since the strength of schedule has fallen into the bottom of the rankings, Marshall has gone 23-5 with two bowl wins.
It's not a coincidence.
Most fans are smart enough to realize this. As a result, they are getting restless. That's because winning alone isn't enough. Fans want to see it happen against competitive opponents.
What needs to happen? .....
