One thing the Marcus Marauders have going for them is being in a very competitive district with the likes of Allen, Plano, Lewisville and Plano East. If the dominoes fall correctly for the Marauders, then we could see Marcus right in the thick of the playoff chase. WIth a very talented offensive backfield and lines, Marcus has the capability to control the clock. It's not just the offense that will be key. Special teams and the linebacking core will hold the ticket to whether Marcus is a viable contender for the playoffs.
