steady Marshall QB who brings veteran composure and big-play flashes
In the 2005 season, Jimmy Skinner gave Marshall a reliable, experienced presence at quarterback, throwing for 1,135 yards with 6 touchdowns and 8 interceptions while showing he could hit explosive plays like a 66-yard strike on the first snap against William & Mary[5][13]. His game was defined less by flash and more by poise, toughness, and the ability to keep Marshall moving during a turbulent transition period, including relief duty and split-time starts[10][11][14]. If a team wants a calm, veteran signal-caller who can manage an offense and stay competitive under pressure, Skinner fits the bill—just not as a high-ceiling, mistake-free superhero.
