I know he hasn't been impressive since last season guys but do not forget what he was able to do in 2012 as a true freshmen. His abilities are definitely an asset ANY team would covet. We need to be patient and not lose sight of how talented this guy was and can be once healthy. We NEED all the help we can get if we want to contend for the playoffs so redshirting would not beneficial. Even if he can't get more than a handful of carries he can contribute to special teams and spot roles as a receiver.

I'm of the mindset that you put your best players on the field. Best being best right now, not best 2 years ago. Right now Gurley, Chubb, and Michel are all running better than Marshall. Michel's out, but Marshall is still behind Gurley and Chubb. I think we redshirt Marshall if we can (not sure if that's possible). If we can't redshirt him, then bring him in for mopup duties, which should come some time 3rd quarter vs UF.
While I realize his touches have been limited and he's been nursing an injury, Marshall averages 2 yards per carry this season. We have 4 other RBs who are all averaging 5+ YPC. The few times I've seen Marshall run this year, there seems to have been no real drive. He's been running flat. It's got to be because of his competition. If that's the case, he's choosing to give up instead of step up.
Agreed, be we are STACKED at RB. KM is good enough to start at any school and be RB1 at most, and here I am saying that I'm okay with him at #3 or 4.

I really hope Marshall returns to his old form, he seems like a good kid with a great attitude and he definitely
deserves a break.
deserves a break.
