Doug Smock: A wide open Marshall football spring begins

Don’t ask me or anybody else to predict if Marshall’s football team can overcome its 2016 collapse.

With five-plus months before the 2017 kickoff, the more pressing question to ask about the Thundering Herd: Who is going to play for this team?

Yeah, go ahead and draw up a two-deep here in late March. By the time the Herd tees it up Sept. 2 against Miami (Ohio), that might look like my NCAA tournament brackets.

Shoot, the program is still suffering attrition. Newest subtractions include Fred Binot, the eight-game starter at left tackle, and reserve tight end Kaleb Harris.
