Marshall (0-8, 0-5) is winless this season. In 2011, the Seahawks, struggling with an 0-8 record heading into its matchup with Marshall the last weekend in October, broke through by rallying for a 22-16 victory.
With victories over Herndon and Lousia County - and a couple of close losses to Madison and McLean - this season the Seahawks are already much improved from 2011. Quarterback Rashaan Jones has scored nine touchdowns and is averaging 67.53 passing yards and 147 rushing yards per game.
