Marshall head coach Charles Huff, facing a formidable challenge against No. 3 Ohio State, has issued a tongue-in-cheek pitch to Buckeyes players to consider transferring for the all-you-can-eat delights of Tudor's Biscuit.
Amidst the daunting task of preparing his Marshall Thundering Herd for a colossal clash with the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes this Saturday, head coach Charles Huff injected a moment of levity with a tantalizing offer. Addressing the media on Tuesday, Huff extended an invitation to Ohio State players to join the Thundering Herd, enticing them with the irresistible lure of all-you-can-eat Tudor's Biscuits.
Recognizing the sheer dominance of the Buckeyes, who Marshall faces as a 40-point underdog, Huff wryly dangled the culinary carrot before potential Ohio State defectors. "I would love to have some of those guys from Ohio State, too," Huff quipped. "If they want to transfer on down, we've got a Tudor's Biscuit NIL all-you-can-eat."
Despite acknowledging the improbability of his request, Huff heaped glowing praise upon the Buckeyes' formidable roster. "They are probably the best team I've seen on film — ever," Huff declared. "They are better than the 2001 [Miami] national championship team that we played at Alabama."
Huff marveled at the collective talent and physical prowess of Ohio State's players, highlighting the return of veteran standouts like Egmeka Egbuka, Jack Sawyer, JT Tuimoloau, and TreVeyon Henderson. He also acknowledged the impact of high-profile transfers like Will Howard, Caleb Downs, and Quinshon Judkins.
"They've been able to go out and acquire some of the best talent in the country," Huff observed. "They have a really good, explosive, fast, strong physical football team."
Marshall's 1-1 start to the season, including a notable upset of Notre Dame in 2022, has not dampened Huff's respect for the Buckeyes. Despite the daunting odds, the Thundering Herd hope to channel their past success against ranked opponents and pull off another stunning upset.
Huff's unwavering confidence in his team remains unshaken. "I feel good about the track we're on, and I feel good about the players we have," Huff asserted. "I'm not just saying that to get everybody excited."
Whether or not Ohio State players succumb to the temptation of Tudor's Biscuits, the stage is set for an epic clash between two teams with contrasting fortunes. Marshall's underdog status adds an intriguing element to the contest, as they aim to prove that anything is possible on the gridiron.
