Marshall football could be shut out of C-USA awards

With its championship planted firmly at Western Kentucky, Conference USA will unveil its all-conference teams, all-freshman team and major awards this week. It will serve as a final insult to suddenly suffering Marshall fans.

In the previous four years, those fans have been spoiled by all the excellence rightly honored by league coaches. In 2015, 15 players made the first team, second team or honorable mention all-conference teams, and/or the all-freshman team. The breakdown was three on first, five on second, seven honorable mention and one all-freshman player.

Evan McKelvey was named defensive player of the year.
