Little Ceasar's Bowl

The Little Caesars Bowl: Ohio vs. Marshall



Marshall will try and keep this game close, but with their coach resigning after their last game, it is hard to believe that they will be totally focused on this game. Ohio took Central Michigan, one of the best teams in the country (no matter what the media says), to their very limits. Simply put, Ohio should pound Marshall into the dirt in this matchup.


Prospects to Watch in this Game


Marshall, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Albert McClellan: While somewhat undersized and unlikely to make it as a 4-3 DE in the NFL, McClellan has potential as a nickel pass rusher in a 3-4 scheme. He’ll likely go in the 6th or 7th round, but as any experienced coach can tell you, “you can never have enough linebackers or pass rushers.” This theory should help him get drafted.


Ohio, Wide Receiver, Taylor Price: The main target of Ohio quarterback Theo Scott, Price has good speed and the ability to make tough catches in the endzone. Odds are he will need to show well as a special teamer, but his speed will get him a look in the late rounds.
