2020 Marshall University Football Record Book Some stats (e.g. third down conversions, quarterback sacks, time of possession) were not kept in the earlier years; what is listed here comes from what was included in the game-by-game stat reports from the time that it was tracked. Most offi cial game statistical reports have been available since 1960. Prior to 1960 the information assembled here comes from media reports of the contests (mostly newspapers and yearbooks). In the early years of Marshall football, the team played several games against club, semi-pro and high school teams. Th e records listed herein are only from games against college competition. Th e NCAA does not count bowl game statistics prior to 2002. As this record book serves as a comparison of Marshall players to one another, all bowl game statistics are included - even prior to 2002.
