The first game at Lane Stadium in 2024 should be a good one. In the second game of their home-and-home series, Virginia Tech will invite Marshall into Lane Stad
ium. The first game in this series didn't go as expected for the Hokies, dropping a 24-17 game in regulation. This win helped propel Marshall to a bowl-eligible year, finishing their season with six wins and seven losses, after a loss to UTSA in the Frisco Bowl.
Not everything was perfect for this Virginia Tech offense however. There are definitely areas for improvement, especially when it comes to closing out games. Virginia Tech ranked 88th in FBS in points per fourth quarter, averaging just 6.2 in the quarter. This makes sense due to the nature of the Tech offense, which obviously is not fully focused on the passing side of the ball, which can cause problems late in games when the Hokies are trailing.
Marshall made some noise in the transfer portal as well, signing six transfers on the defensive end, some of which were from major programs. Isaiah Johnson , Monroe Beard III , Deeve Harris , Ashton Heflin , Jason Shuford , and Jason Harris round out Marshall's transfer class on defense. Games seven through nine could not have been more different than the first six games for the Marshall offense. Marshall went three straight games in a row without reaching double-digits. Game seven versus James Madison was possibly the worst of them all. All nine points scored by Marshall in that game were not by the offense. Marshall's defense forced a safety in the third quarter, then Marshall kick returner Jayden Harrison took a 94-yard kickoff return to the house.
Braxton, the quarterback from Tulsa, made an impact on his squad too. Braxton appeared in six games in 2023, and nine in 2022. Braxton's 2023 season was riddled with injury, and he only made eight career starts at Tulsa , but still wanted to make his impact known. Braxton showed a 56.4% completion percentage in 2022, while holding a 132.6 passer rating. His final statistics in 2022 included five rushing touchdowns, over a thousand passing yards, and a 10-2 touchdown-interception ratio.
