Herd Football Scrimmage Ends Camp With Offensive Outburst

HUNTINGTON — Doc Holliday took his team out on a perfect scrimmage day — with temps in the upper 70s and a bit overcast, while a crowd of over 300 people including Big Green Scholarship Foundation members, Marshall Football season ticket holders and MU students, new and old, who came out to see the Herd in the final semi-public workout. What they witnessed was the Herd rolling up 451 yards in offense in 76 plays in about an hour and one-half of scrimmage, with outstanding plays on both sides of the ball throughout the day.

You would have to give the nod to the offense, who overcame a Corey Neely interception return for a touchdown against the first team in just their second series after the second team scored and drove the ball to the four in its first time under center.
