IMO the 96 Marshall team used to be the best FCS team of all time until NDSU came along

I think last years team would beat that 96 Marshall team 8 out of 10 times......and this years team would beat them 7 out of 10 times. Its just stupid how good they really are year after year.








The most impressive thing too me is definitely their modesty and unwillingness to talk about their team all the time. :coffee:

That Marshall team was electric. Big play spectacular. NDSU doesn't have the big play weapon, but the bore you to death, grind you down offense is working just fine!

I'd love to see that matchup!

1987 Holy Cross wants in too....

At the end of the day it's impossible to know....

I wouldn't go that far....on paper, this year's team should be better than the squad from last year, and I don't think they are playing their best football yet (primarily on O) than they are able.

That '96 Marshall team was an offensive juggernaut. The Bison are a defensive juggernaut. It would be fun to be able to put those 2 teams on the field and see which is better, but we'll never know. You know what they say, offense sells tickets defense wins championships. Give me the better defensive team every time.

Through 11 games 1996 Marshall scored 35 fewer points than 1987 HC. They also gave up 43 more points, 153 to 110.

'87 HC, '00 GSU, '96 Marshall and NDSU (pick'em) are the best teams imo.

Holy Cross played in the Patriot League while Marshall was in the SoCon during its heyday. And HC wasn't even in the playoffs that year.

HC still finished the season ranked #1...

Colgate's Kenny Gamble was the first Payton Winner that year. Lockbaum was a Heisman Finalist....great season for the PL...
