HUNTINGTON – With the St. Petersburg Bowl approaching on Saturday, most of the talk among Marshall’s football players about their Dec. 26 opponent at Tropicana Field has focused on two items.
The first is Connecticut’s defense, which ranks just behind the Herd in FBS scoring defense, but 20 yards per game better than Marshall in total defense.
The other fact is that the Huskies are indeed husky.
“Defensively, they do a lot of odd front, have a really good nose guard (redshirt senior Julian Campeni) who will be lining up over me, and they’re big guys,” Marshall junior center Michael Selby said.
