Ra’Shawde Myers, linebacker Jermaine Holmes and safety A.J. Leggett were selected to the fi rst team. Cato said he wanted to make an immediate impact and he wanted to be remembered like Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich for taking the Herd Defensive end Gary Thompson, linebacker Evan McKelvey and kick returner program to great heights. Deandre Reaves were picked for the second team. After a 2013 season in which he led Marshall to its fi rst 10-win season since 2002, Wideout Angelo Jean-Louis, off ensive tackles Clint Van Horn and Sebastian Cato earned a distinction shared by those great Herd quarterbacks that he is Johansson and linebacker D.J.

The fl ight was en route to Huntington, following ECU’s 17-14 victory in Greenville on Nov. 14. Pennington won the Hardman Award in 1999 and Leftwich won the award in 2001 and 2002. Marshall will host the Pirates at Joan C. Edwards Stadium on Sept. 11, 2021. Cato became the fi rst Marshall football player since Leftwich to win the award, “It is great to resume our rivalry with East Carolina,” said Marshall Director of drawing him closer to etching his name on that list. Athletics Mike Hamrick. “Marshall and ECU have always shared a bond that only grew stronger following our tragedy.

Marshall Football 2014 “He belongs on the list, I’ll tell you that,” Leftwich said. “The way he’s going, he’s trying to take everybody off the list.” In 2013, Cato fi nished the year with 3,916 yards passing and 39 touchdowns while also rushing for 294 yards and another six scores.

However, the bigger story was his progression as a quarterback in making reads and seeing the defense. Cato got the Herd in the correct run-pass options in off ensive coordinator Bill Legg’s scheme and the Marshall off ense fi nished at 7,005 yards of total off ense for the season--an average of 500.4 yards a game. While the season included marquee wins over Maryland in the Military Bowl and a 59-28 win over East Carolina in the regular season fi nale to clinch the Conference USA East Division title, it was another game that Cato said is his lasting memory of the 2013 season. He noted a 45-34 win over Tulsa on Nov. 14, 2013, the 43rd anniversary of the tragic Marshall airplane crash, which killed all 75 members of the Herd football team’s traveling party following Marshall’s 17-14 loss at East Carolina in 1970. The game marked the fi rst time the team had played a road game on Nov. 14 since that 1970 crash and the team elected to wear ‘75’ decals on their helmets in honor of the victims. After building a big lead early, adversity struck the Herd and the team fell behind in the fourth quarter, but Cato led his team on a pair of late fourth quarter scoring drives to clinch the win. He fi nished with a career-high 456 yards passing and fi ve touchdowns. “There were so many emotions going on the entire day with the plane crash ceremony going on in the morning,” Cato said. “We had that ‘75’ sticker on our helmets and we had to overcome that adversity because there was no way we could lose on that day for those who went before us. That was the most memorable moment for me.” The 10-win season was the fi rst since Leftwich led Marshall to an 11-2 record in 2002 and, with Cato returning, helped solidify Marshall as a potential Top 25 team heading into 2014. Not only did the season earn the respect of the former Herd quarterbacks and those surrounding college football, it also earned the respect of those in the sports profession around the state. Cato heads into 2014 as the FBS active leader in consecutive games with a TD pass (32). The FBS record is 38 consecutive games by Russell Wilson (NC State/ Wisconsin). He has 13 300-yard passing games in his three seasons and ranks second in school history in TD passes (91) and touchdowns accounted for (98) and third in career completions (886), passing yards (10,176) and total off ense (10,533). Herd Finishes 29th in Final USA Today Coaches Poll: Marshall football fi nished 29th overall in the fi nal USA Today Coaches Poll. The Herd fi nished with 17 points, with just Washington (67), Fresno State (54) and Northern Illinois (21) standing between it and the fi nal Top 25. The Herd’s fi ve-win improvement from 2012 (a 10-4 fi nish, following 5-7) was among the best in major college football. The only three teams topping Marshall are Auburn at plus-9 (from 3-9 to 12-2), Cotton Bowl victor Missouri at plus-7 (5-7 to 12-2) and Rose Bowl champ Michigan State at plus-6 (7-6 to 13-1). Feel The Rush: Marshall has outrushed 10 of its last 16 opponents overall and seven of its last 11 Conference USA opponents, dating back to the 2012 season. Protecting the Home Turf: The Herd has won eight straight home games dating back to last season, the longest home winning streak since 17 from 2000-03 (last three of 2000, all six in 2001, all seven in 2002, fi rst game of 2003).

Cato Improves Streak to 32 and Continues to Climb the Charts: Rakeem Cato’s three TD passes in the 31-20 win over Maryland in the Military Bowl was the 32nd- consecutive game that the quarterback has thrown at least one touchdown pass. Russell Wilson of NC State/Wisconsin holds the NCAA record, tossing a TD in 38 straight contests. Cato has completed 63.9 percent of his passes in his college career (886 completions in 1,387 attempts). That fi gure currently puts him second in the Herd’s all-time record book, just behind Byron Leftwich (65.1, 939-1442) and ahead of Chad Pennington (63.4, 1026-1619). Completions (and lots of them): The Herd has completed as many or more passes than the opposition in 25 of its last 27 games, with the loss at MTSU (MU’s 19 to MTSU’s 22) on Oct. 24, 2013 and the win over ECU (MU’s 17 to ECU’s 28) on Nov. 29, 2013 its only blemishes. Shuler Headed to the Top...Again: With nine catches vs. Maryland, wide receiver Tommy Shuler has 230 career receptions, which is good enough for No. 4 on the Herd’s career receptions list. Shuler’s 106 catches last season places him in a tie for second on the school’s all-time single-season list. Shuler also got his 16th career touchdown reception against the Terps, tying him for 14th in Marshall annals. 50+: Marshall’s 59-28 win over ECU was the 10th time that the Thundering Herd has reached the 50+-point plateau under coach Doc Holliday. (1990-95) holds the all-time school mark in that department with 15, while (1996-2004) reached that mark 14 times and (1936-42, 1946-49) did it on 13 occasions. Perfect vs. Texas at Home: Interestingly enough, Marshall has never lost to a school from Texas at home. The Thundering Herd is a perfect 10-0 against Texas schools in games played in Huntington. Marshall owns a win over North Texas (1988), two wins over Houston (2008, 2012), two wins over Rice (2007, 2011), two wins over SMU (2005, 2009), two wins over UTEP (2006, 2010) and one victory over UTSA (2013).

Marshall Football 2014 Doc Holliday Head Coach - Fourth Season (27-24 overall, 20-12 C-USA) Marshall University Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick introduced Doc Holliday as the Thundering Herd’s 29th head football coach on Dec. 17, 2009. In four seasons, Holliday has returned the Thundering Herd program to national attention. Holliday, a Hurricane, W.Va., native, is widely regarded as one of the top recruiters in the nation. He has more than 30 years of collegiate coaching experience, including previous stops at Florida, NC State and West Virginia. In 2013, Holliday took the Herd where it hadn’t been in its previous eight years in Conference USA … nine regular-season victories, seven league wins and a berth in the C-USA title game, mostly on the strength of an unblemished 6-0 mark at home for the fi rst time since 2002. The Herd earned a bid to the Military Bowl, where it toppled Big Ten-bound Maryland, 31- 20 – one of only two bowl victories by teams from non-AQ BCS conference teams over BCS league schools in the 2013 postseason. In fi nishing 10-4, Marshall boasted the best (scoring) defensive turnaround in the nation (19.9 fewer points allowed per game than in 2012), and junior quarterback Rakeem Cato was named the C-USA Off ensive Player of the Year while nickel back Corey Tindal was the co-Freshman of the Year. Tight end Gator Hoskins was selected for the , the fourth Holliday-coached player to make the Mobile, Ala., game in four MU seasons. Holliday’s team had 16 All-C-USA selections (fi rst and second team and honorable mention) and fi ve C-USA All-Freshman Team selections. During his time in Huntington, Holliday’s teams have consistently improved as the season stretches into the winter months. The Herd is 15-5 under Holliday after Oct. 28, including an eye-popping 10-0 mark in the friendly confi nes of Joan C. Edwards Stadium. In 2012, Marshall’s off ense enjoyed a record-setting season, leading the nation in passing yardage and completions, while setting a school record in total off ense per game. The unit also fi nished second in fi rst downs per game and third down conversion percentage. In C-USA, Marshall led in scoring off ense (40.9), total off ense (534.2), passing off ense (365.1), pass effi ciency (147.7), fi rst downs (29.4) and third down conversions (54.6). Due in large part to these accomplishments, Cato was named Conference USA’s Most Valuable Player, while running back Kevin Grooms was named C-USA Freshman of the Year. In 2011, the Herd went 7-6 against the 16th-toughest schedule in the nation, a slate that was ranked second among non-BCS schools. Two of those victories came against eventual C-USA champion Southern Miss and Big East co-champ Louisville, the latter coming on the road for the program’s fi rst non-conference road win since the early 2000s. Marshall also won fi ve Conference USA games, the most for the program since it joined the league in 2005. Holliday also mentored All-American defensive end Vinny Curry, who was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year. His fi rst Herd squad won four of its last fi ve games in 2010 and featured two fi rst-team All-Conference USA performers in Curry and linebacker Mario Harvey. Marshall got it done in the classroom as well, as tight end Lee Smith was named to C-USA’s All-Academic Team and the squad, as a whole, was recognized by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) for its outstanding graduation rate. The Herd was one of just 15 schools in major college football to have a graduation rate of 90 percent or better based on the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate formula. During his coaching career, Holliday has coached in 23 bowl games, three national championship games and coached 11 players that have gone on to the . He has also coached fi ve All- Americans and 27 student-athletes that have earned all-conference or All-East honors. Holliday was a three-year letter-winner at linebacker at West Virginia (1976-78) and has earned bachelor’s (1979) and master’s (1981) degrees from WVU. He won a state high school wrestling title at 175 pounds (all divisions) in 1975 at Hurricane. Holliday and his wife, Diana, have four children - Meghan, Cade, Chase and Cody.
