Marshall head coach Charles Huff had plenty to say about Ohio State in his weekly press conference Tuesday.
Giving an assessment of Ohio State's talent, Huff jokingly suggested they should transfer to Marshall, appealing to the stomach of Buckeye players by offering them an all-you-can-eat NIL deal with Tudor's Biscuit World.
"I feel good about the players we have. I'd 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 deal, all you can eat," Huff said tongue-in-cheek. "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."

Witty remark aside, Huff, who served as Alabama's running backs coach for two seasons prior to taking the Marshall job, was also very complimentary of Ohio State in breaking down what he's seen from the Buckeyes on film.
"I think coach (Ryan) Day has done a phenomenal job, I'll be honest, probably the best team I've seen on film, ever," Huff said. "I'm not just saying that to get everyone excited. They're really good. They are better than the (2011) national championship team that we played at Alabama (while at Vanderbilt). 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. You look at what they've done to build their team, $20 million NIL resources invested into this team, they've been able to go out and acquire some of the best talent in the country.
"It's funny looking at a lot of these guys because I recruited a lot of them at the University of Alabama. Their starting center Seth McLaughlin was a freshman for us at Alabama. TreVeyon Henderson was one of the top running backs in the country, we battled Ohio State for him. Brandon Inniss was one of the most explosive players in the state of Florida when he came out. Caleb Downs has done a really good job for them. And they've got some freshmen that are playing like seniors. So, they've got a really good team."
