Appalachian State vs Marshall Game Preview

Why Appalachian State Will Win

Yeah, the Marshall run defense has been special lately. It’s about to see something different with the Appalachian State ground game.

That doesn’t mean the Mountaineers can’t stall – they sure did in the loss to Coastal Carolina – but when they’re on, forget it.

5-1 when they run for more than 90 yards, they’re going to keep forcing the issue against a Marshall defensive front that’s totally dominant against good ground attacks.

However, thanks to Chase Brice, Appalachian State can throw, too.

10 Best Picks Against The Spread

Why Marshall Will Win

The run defense really is just that special.

James Madison stopped Appalachian State cold, Texas State was able to come up with a ton of big plays, and Coastal Carolina did the job.

Yeah, Appalachian State ran well on Texas A&M and ripped through North Carolina, but the Marshall run defense is just that good.

As long as the offense can limit the turnovers and get its own ground game going …

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams are 5-4, and both teams are struggling to get over the finish line and get bowl eligible, but Marshall has to win two of its last three.

Yeah, the Marshall run defense has been incredible at home, but two of the best performances came at home against FCS teams. Louisiana and Coastal Carolina were able to win even though they stalled.

Can Marshall score enough? Appalachian State is 5-0 when allowing 28 points or fewer and 0-4 when allowing more.

Marshall only scored more than 26 against one FBS team, Bowling Green. Appalachian State is better.

Why Appalachian State Will Win

It wasn’t a pretty performance against Charlotte in the 35-20 win, but it was effective.

The defense wasn’t as strong early in the second half as it should’ve been, and  it took too long to put the game away, but the ground game was dynamite.

Zac Thomas and the passing game were fine against the 49ers, but the running game was the star with 308 yards – Marcus Williams and Camerun Peoples each hit the 100-yard mark.

Marshall’s run defense was dominant in a 59-0 win over Eastern Kentucky, but it wasn’t tested after getting up 21-0 right away. App State will test the Herd D right away, but …

Why Marshall Will Win

Is that really the Marshall passing game going forward?

Welcome to Grant Wells, a freshman who hit 16-of-23 passes for 307 yards and four scores with big pass after big pass in the blowout win. The offensive line gave him time, RB Brenden Knox took the pressure off a bit when needed, and the offense exploded.

The defensive front will apply more pressure in the Appalachian State backfield than the Charlotte defense did – which was non-existent – with a linebacking corps that should limit the big, gashing running plays.

If the Herd can force takeaways – Appalachian State turned it over four times last week – they’ll take over the game.

What’s Going To Happen

Expect a terrific battle.

This is a good, explosive Marshall team with the upside and talent to push for the Conference USA title. However, Appalachian State will tighten up the mistakes against Charlotte, will be balanced enough offensively to keep the chains moving, and will come up with yet another strong performance for the Sun Belt.
