Why Marshall Will Win

Why Louisiana Tech Will Win

The Louisiana Tech defense has been terrific against the run. It got plowed on for 188 yards and four touchdowns by BYU, but that’s been the lone problem so far.

The offense hasn’t gotten rolling yet, but it has the potential to be a whole lot stronger with a receiving corps that’s been fine, but hasn’t been unleashed like it will be at some point.

Marshall has a good pass rush, but it doesn’t generate a whole lot of tackles for loss. Give this Louisiana Tech offense time, and the chains will keep moving – the Bulldogs are converting 44% of their third down chances.

What’s Going To Happen

Marshall is playing way too well.

The defense is too good, the offense is too balanced, and Louisiana Tech is too shaky despite being 3-1. The Bulldogs are at home, but the Herd will control the game from the start.
