Why Middle Tennessee Will Win
The team is playing better.
It’s still a lost year for a program that should be in the Conference USA title hunt every season, but it won two of its last three games with the passing game that’s clicking just enough to overcome a slew of defensive issues, especially against the run.
Most importantly, the turnover problem slowed. Oh, there are still mistakes – four giveaways in the last three games – but it’s not nearly as bad as it was over the first part of the season.

Marshall is happy to keep it on the ground if everything is working.
The defense isn’t going to get gouged, so as long as there aren’t any major turnover issues, and as long as the rushing attack can average over five yards per carry – which it will – this should be a walk in the park.

What’s Going To Happen
The Marshall pass rush has been unbelievable, and the run defense has been suffocating. The Herd lead the nation against the run – they haven’t allowed 100 yards so far – and that’s not going to change after this weekend.
Middle Tennessee will try bombing away, but that’s when the mistakes will start to come. Yes, the offense has been better, but that’s because it hasn’t faced a defense close to this strong.
