2009 MARSHALL PREVIEW

The Thundering Herd actually has the elements in place to field a fairly dangerous offense, if they're all in place when the 2009 season begins. The team's biggest offensive weapon, junior running back Darius Marshall, remained suspended at press time after being arrested in early May on marijuana possession charges. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge on May 12 and was sentenced to six months unsupervised probation. The last Marshall player to face similar charges under Coach Mark Snyder, linebacker Corey Hart, has been suspended for only the 2009 season opener. A similar punishment is expected for the 5-foot-10, 189-pound Marshall, who racked up over 1,000 yards rushing in each of his first two college seasons.
