Last year Marshall completed approximately 60% (59.4) of his passes. It's been documented that Lashlee wants to see between 65 and 70%.

2013 Cmp%
Winston - 66.9
Mariota - 63.5
Hundley - 67.2
Petty - 62.0

Marshall certainly had the fewest number of attempts of any of the QBs in front of him. With a VERY talented receiving corps, and his off season work, his number of attempts and cmp% should certainly go up.

Random thoughts:
After a quick glance it appears Alabama leads the preseason Heisman odds with a total of three players - Henry, Yeldon and Coker (even though Saban hasn't announced their starting QB)

I wonder if Marshall's incident this summer would prevent voters casting their ballots for him, but if that's the case you have to throw
Winston out. After the alleged sexual assault and crab legs, he's certainly no boy scout and looking objectively I think he is more of a lightening rod than Marshall.

I would assume that winning back-to-back Heisman's is more difficult than winning back-to-back NCs.

Not really sure how Gordon has 12/1 odds based on last year's stats. I understand a lot of it is based on projected performance this year. Looking at Wisconsin's schedule, it's going to be a cake walk for them.
