Marshall HC Charles Huff makes biscuit-related NIL pitch to Ohio State players

Head coach Charles Huff and the Marshall Thundering Herd have an overwhelming challenge this Saturday, as they play the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus on "Big Noon Saturday" (coverage starts at 10 a.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app)

Huff knows his team, which is currently a 40-point underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook heading into Ohio Stadium, will have its hands full. So Huff took the opportunity during his press conference Tuesday to make a tasty pitch to Buckeyes players to come play in Huntington.

"I feel good about the track we're on, and I feel good about the players we have, [but I] would love to have some of those guys from Ohio State, too, so if they want to transfer on down, we've got a Tudor's Biscuit NIL all-you-can-eat," Huff said. "So, if any of those guys that run really, really fast at Ohio State like Tudor's Biscuits, I promise you, all-you-can-eat all day if you transfer here."

Huff knows that's unlikely, but he had even higher praise for the Buckeyes' stacked roster Tuesday.

"I'll be honest, they are probably the best team I've seen on film — ever," Huff said. "I'm not just saying that to get everybody excited. They are better than the 2001 [Miami] national championship team that we played at Alabama, when you look across the board. I'm not saying every player is the best player in the country, but collectively, they have a really good, explosive, fast, strong physical football team."

Huff also touched on Ohio State's rumored NIL budget of $20 million for a roster full of talented veterans — including standouts who chose to return instead of leaving for the NFL like wide receiver Egmeka Egbuka, defensive linemen Jack Sawyer and JT Tuimoloau and running back TreVeyon Henderson.
