Marshall’s offense has been able to move the ball this season, but that fact remains that it could not finish a drive with ease. The missing piece: a solid rushing attack. The team may have just found one in Tyler King. King showed his coaches, the players, the media and, more importantly, the community that he can be quite the force at running back.

In previous games this season, Marshall relied on the services of newcomer Trey Rodriguez. Rodriguez, over the course of two games, managed 29 carries for just 73 yards and zero touchdowns. Keion Davis and Anthony Anderson were in the rotation at running back as well, but also have failed to make an impact in terms of rushing out of the backfield.
