The seasons results does paint a complete picture of what Marshall was able to accomplish in his first year as the starting quarterback. Except to show what areas are going to need great improvement for next year.
Passing was easily the weakest part of Marshall’s game going 43-116 which is a 37.1% completion rate for ten touchdowns. He only threw five interceptions but was sacked 19 time, many of those coming in key moments. This stat is a little misleading as it seemed like every time Marshall rolled out for a pass last season he was running for his life due to sub-optimal offensive line play.
