Chase Litton's no longer Marshall's untested true freshman at quarterback

HUNTINGTON — As Marshall conducts its first scrimmage of the preseason Saturday, it’s time for the young quarterbacks to show what they can do without hearing from on-field coaches every play.

That means it’s a debut of sorts for Garet Morrell.

And Xavier Gaines.

And the sophomore version of Chase Litton.

Yes, it’s a brave new world for Litton, the 6-foot-6 sophomore from Tampa, Florida. When the Thundering Herd convenes Saturday afternoon, Litton will carry a wealth of hard-earned knowledge from his freshman season.

But that knowledge is expanding rapidly. Litton wants it, and offensive coordinator Bill Legg is demanding it.
