Rasheen Ali, Marshall, Player News
|
After missing the first 10 games of the year, running back Rasheen Ali had an immediate impact on the offense when he returned. Suddenly, the weight of the running game wasn't all on the shoulders of senior Khalan Laborn, who ran for over 1,500 yards in 13 games this year. Instead, he and Ali split carries over the final three games of the season. In each of those, Ali led the team in rushing. He and Laborn each ran for over 100 yards against Georgia State and Ali's 94 yards and first rushing touchdown of the year in a 28-14 win over UConn in the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Dec. 19 was enough to earn him MVP honors in that game. "Whether he played in every game or played in a few games, him helping his team become champions today was a big part of this year," head coach Charles Huff said. "Really proud of him, really happy that he was able to battle back. He hadn't been hurt since he was in Little League and he twisted his ankle and they put some ice on it."It wasn't until after Ali's return to the li neup that Huff and others on the team hinted at and later confirmed that the diamond of the Herd's backfield was dealing with a knee injury suffered in fall camp. Before the start of the season, the team announced Ali would spend some time away from the team until he was physically, mentally and emotionally ready to return. Huff said he believed that announcement protected the Herd and forced teams to prepare as if Ali could return any time. All along, there was never an official timetable, but he would be allowed to return when he felt ready. - Charleston Gazette

Cam Fancher threw for two touchdowns and Marshall held off UConn's second-half rally to close the season with a fifth straight win, 28-14 in the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Monday. The Thundering Herd (9-4) seemingly had things in hand, ahead 28-0 after Raseen Ali's 2-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter. But the Huskies rallied with 14- and 24-yard TD runs by Victor Rosa and, after an interception, drove into Marshall territory with 10 minutes to play. That was as close as UConn (6-7) could get in its first postseason appearance since 2015. Fancher finished 10-of-20 passing for 93 yards, including a 9-yard scoring pass to Corey Gammage and a 10-yard TD toss to Devin Miller, as Marshall led 21-0 at the half. Ali ran for 92 yards and Khalan Labo rn 90 as Marshall put up 210 yards rushing. Marshall had one of the season's most surprising victories, winning at No. 19 Notre Dame, 26-21, in September. It ended the regular season as one of college football's hottest teams and posted its most victorie s in a season since winning nine games in 2018.The Herd also ended a three-game bowl losing streak dating to that same season. Not that UConn didn't make it interesting down 28-14. The Huskies got to Marshall's 42, and when receiver Keelon Marion was bumped on a long pass by defensive back Steven Gilmore without a penalty flag, first-year coach Jim Mora Jr. argued loudly and drew his own 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct flag that stalled the drive. Two series later, UConn drove to Marshall's 8, bu t Turner was picked off in the end zone by Micah Abraham with 5:09 to go. Turner was 9 of 27 passing for 166 yards with three interceptions and a fumble. The Herd took advantage of UConn mistakes to build their lead. After Marshall fumbled the ball away in UConn territory in the opening quarter, Turner fumbled it back on the next play. That led to Gammage's scoring catch. Later in the first period, Turner threw a pick-6 that defensive lineman Damion Babers Jr. caught cleanly and carried 34 yards to the end zone for a 14-0 lead. Marshall followed up UConn's field goal miss in the second quarter with a long scoring drive that ended with Miller's scoring catch. - Marshall/AP College Football

"Our team and staff are doing a great job of supporting him and we are lo oking forward to getting him back soon. We do not have an anticipated return date at this time.

Everybody knows who Rasheen Ali is. After rushing for 1,401 yards and scoring 23 touchdowns in 2021 and making one award watch list after another during the 2022 preseason, Marshall University's star redshirt sophomore is increasingly well known. What pe ople don't realize, however, is who that person actually is underneath the No. 22 jersey. Want to know? Get ready for a surprise, because Ali is one of the most thoughtful, introspective and self-aware athletes anyone ever will encounter. Ask him, for ex ample, about all the watch lists and preseason honors Ali already has received in 2022. "It feels good, honestly, just knowing the work I've put in," said Ali. "It's not just me. I'm putting the work in with my teammates, my brothers. The work that we al l put in - the offensive line - just trusting everybody. "It feels good just knowing that we all did it as a unit because I couldn't do it without them. So, it's really important that I just keep implementing it and just keep pushing each other each and every day. "I feel good about the honors, but I know at the end of the day that I couldn't get it without them, so I'm just super-appreciative of them."Yet the key to Ali's success on the field is what he does off the field. It is called affirmati ons. "Affirmations is really just speaking stuff into existence, writing stuff down," explained Ali. "I'm always taking notes and just jot down how I felt that day and what I want to work on that day, how I want to feel tomorrow...I just really write abo ut my day. "I really have a whole vision board and everything. It's hard to explain, but I have a vision board with all the goals I have. I did it last year and last year I missed. I had every goal except some money that I wanted to invest. I hit every g oal but that. "I really just try to speak stuff into existence because your worry and your thoughts are your power. So, really just thinking about it and affirming it and really just owning what I believe in is really just a big impact on what I do." - C harleston Gazette

July 1 marked the official start of the Sun Belt Conference's expansion with James Madison, Marshall, Old Dominion and Southern Miss joining the conference. The official begin of the "new" Sun Belt marks the culmination of months of rumors, threats and d rama that surrounded the decision for the four schools to jump to the Sun Belt. In 2021, three of the four schools announced they would be entering the conference following the 2022-2023 athletic seasons, while James Madison planned to join in July from the beginning. Things changed, however, as Southern Miss, Old Dominion and Marshall informed Conference-USA that they intended to also join the Sun Belt by July 1. The C-USA refused to accept the schools' departure and even released conference schedules for the 2022 football season including the three schools.Marshall University then filed a lawsuit against the C-USA with the conference shortly thereafter agreeing to allow the schools depart for the Sun Belt early. In order to leave the C-USA ear ly, the schools agreed to pay the conference $2 million for the early departure. Marshall, Old Dominion, Southern Miss and James Madison's move to the Sun Belt expands the conference's reach into new states, adding West Virginia, Virginia and Mississippi . "We are excited to officially welcome James Madison, Marshall, Old Dominion and Southern Miss as members of the Sun Belt Conference," Sun Belt Commissioner Keith Gill said. "This expansion to 14 members - and the regional rivalries it produces - makes the 2022-2023 academic year one of the most anticipated in Sun Belt history and signals the bright future that lies ahead of the conference." - The Troy Messenger

Freshman Rasheen Ali scored the first four touchdowns of his collegiate career as Marshall dominated Navy 49-7 in Charles Huff's debut as head coach on Saturday. Huff was introduced as the Thundering Herd's coach nearly a year ago. While Marshall won a n inth-straight season opener, Huff broke a specific type of losing streak: the previous five first-year coaches had all lost season-opening road games. Ali scored his first TD from the 2, capping the game-opening drive. He added two more scoring runs - fr om the 3 and the 4 - staking Marshall to a 21-0 halftime lead. Ali scored a final touchdown with a plunge from the 1 midway through the fourth quarter.Sheldon Evans scored Marshall's other two touchdowns with runs of 9 and 1 yards. Xavier Arline s cored early in the fourth, crashing over from the 1, as Navy avoided the shutout thanks to 337 yards rushing. Marshall's defense recorded 126 total tackles - including 13 for a loss - to 66 by Navy's defense. Marshall held a 464-398 edge in total yards, largely thanks to Grant Wells completing 20 of 30 passes for 333 yards before being replaced by backup Luke Zban late in the game. Zban fired a 30-yard touchdown pass to E.J. Horton with 2:01 remaining. Four Midshipmen combined to complete 5 of 16 passes for 61 yards. - Marshall/AP College Football
