Non-BCS RB Profiles
Athlon continues its release of the 2009 college fantasy football draft kit, with a look at running backs from the WAC, Mountain West and Independents.
2009 Marshall Thundering Herd Preview
Football can be won in the trenches, and if the Herd can run block for Darius Marshall and dominate on defense with a talented front line, this team will win its share of games. With both coordinators returning for their second season, an experienced and talented defense and a lighter schedule, there is reason to believe Marshall will snap its streak of four straight losing seasons and likely earn Mark Snyder more time in Huntington. But if the quarterback play remains spotty, getting to .500 will be a challenge.
Nos. 81-90
Discover which teams are in the 80s today as Athlon releases teams 26-120 in reverse order 10 at a time.
