Marcus Marshall could see more playing time

Marshall attributes his sophomore season improvement that Johnson sees to the passage of time.

“I definitely think (more time and experience) is a positive,” Marshall said. “I’ve just been practicing hard and playing hard when I get in there.”

“It’s an adjustment, but you just kind of go with the flow,” Marshall said. “Just work hard and try to make plays when I get in there.”

Marshall had two games with over 100 yards rushing in his freshman season. The first was against Alcorn State where Marshall rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns, the most by Jacket since 2009 when Jonathan Dwyer ran 189 yards against Wake Forest. Marshall also racked up 159 rushing yards and three touchdowns against Pittsburgh, earning him ACC Rookie of the Week honors.
