[ISUMatt]

Marshall running out the clock...Overall Im impressed with our defensive effort after all the problems we had last year...The offensive moved it, Kiel looked great in a drive, Brockway settled down and was effective, Fisher ran great, Blow was good, and the WRs didnt have many drops at all...the heat and depth just got to us...Marshall scores a TD with under a minute left by the 3rd string RB
