With a new coaching staff and new offense, Marshall is hoping to turn things around.<br /><br />"With all the new stuff, we are kind of a squeaky wheel right now and we are trying to oil that up. We have our plays in, now we just need repetition. But we are going to look to run the ball in our multiple formation offense," Stealy said.<br /><br />With only eight total returning starters combined on both sides of the ball, Marshall will have to lean on the experience it has.<br /><br />Chris Upright is returning all-league player at linebacker and will anchor the defense, as well as see the ball as a running back on offense. Other key players on defense, include Davonte Gonzalez, a returner at linebacker, and Corey Dexter, who comes back for his defensive end spot.<br /><br />The offensive line brings back some experience in Ryan Westrick, who as an all-league honorable mention selection last year, as well as Justin Holcomb and Jackson Friend, who both saw time as starters a year ago.<br /><br />Look for Forrest Jackson to have a big season at running back, as he will share the ball with Upright in the backfield.<br />---<br /><br />Article found at http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/story/sports/high-school/2015/08/26/prep-football-preview-new-coaches-interstate/32400317/CoachTom48160https://www.blogger.com/profile/17956506810522229232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898014593441742663.post-43693028791874944772015-08-26T21:19:14.228-04:002015-08-26T21:19:14.228-04:00Smcc JV 46-22 over Tecumseh..Smcc JV 46-22 over Tecumseh..DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599641064018664447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898014593441742663.post-13490201095122786842015-08-26T17:54:17.197-04:002015-08-26T17:54:17.197-04:00Tecumseh's new coach Steve Robb is an interest...Tecumseh's new coach Steve Robb is an interesting storyline in the SMCC/Tecumseh game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898014593441742663.post-58961401508060825062015-08-26T16:29:49.187-04:002015-08-26T16:29:49.187-04:00Adrian is in a state of transition after their lon...Adrian is in a state of transition after their long time coach stepped down, so hopefully Airport can take advantage. SMCC-Tecumseh should be interesting as the post Giarmo era begins. I'm thinking the league goes 7-1 with Jefferson as the only loss.

It's a long road trip against a team trying to impress a new coach. I'm hoping that Marshall doesn't have their schemes installed quite yet, but there's no reason to assume a blowout. This will be a nice test for the Big Reds to establish their defense and to find their identity on offense with Lindeman on the shelf for a while.CoachTom48160https://www.blogger.com/profile/17956506810522229232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898014593441742663.post-56899516490183515602015-08-26T10:07:45.843-04:002015-08-26T10:07:45.843-04:00@149 three scores?
