HUNTINGTON — Between the presence of a potential Heisman Trophy quarterback and the absence of Chase Litton, Marshall didn’t have a chance against Louisville.
Before a capacity-plus crowd of 40,592 at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, the Thundering Herd succumbed to a 28-point second quarter by the No. 3 Cardinals, eventually falling 59-28.
After two days of rumors and speculation, MU announced an hour before the game that Litton would miss the game with an undisclosed injury. MU coach Doc Holliday does not discuss the nature of such injuries.
If that was kept under wraps, Garet Morrell’s inexperience was exposed to all.
