College football's other unbeaten

— -- HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- It was barely 20 degrees outside, with light snow falling and the wind whipping, but inside Marshall's sparkling new indoor practice facility, coach Doc Holliday was burning up the turf as he paced back and forth along the goal line.

The Thundering Herd were wrapping up practice last week, and Holliday was hell-bent on making sure their bloop kickoffs are perfect.

"I want it on the numbers [the 25] and better hang time," Holliday barked. Marshall was prepping for UAB, which boasts one of the most dangerous kickoff returners in the country,  J.J. Nelson, who has already taken back three for touchdowns.
