Marshall vs Middle Tennessee Game Preview


Why Marshall Will Win

The Thundering Herd are just this close to being 4-0.

They lost the last two games, but the close calls against East Carolina and Appalachian State could’ve gone either way – the passing game was great against the Pirates and pushed the Mountaineers.

Middle Tennessee isn’t doing enough on third downs to keep the Marshall offense offense its game. The O line is giving up too many plays behind the line, and the lack of third down conversions and stops is crushing in the time of possession battle.

Marshall has no problem moving the ball, and the pass rush is among the nation’s best.

Why Middle Tennessee Will Win

The Blue Raiders can’t run the ball, but the passing attack is moving just fine no matter who’s under center.

Bailey Hockman was just fine, but he decided he was done with football. Chase Cunningham is a veteran who can push the ball down the field a bit and should be able to press the Herd secondary enough to be a problem.

The offense might not be consistent enough, but there aren’t a slew of turnovers, the passing attack is efficient, and the defense should come up with a few big plays against a mistake-prone Herd offense that gave the ball away three times in each of the first three games.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s all about not screwing up for Marshall.

The offensive line isn’t going to have a problem against the Blue Raider defensive front, the offense will move the ball just fine, and there’s a chance this gets put away almost immediately.

The Blue Raiders can make up for problems with enough big plays to keep this interesting, but Marshall will keep this simple.

The Herd will move the sticks, and Middle Tennessee won’t.

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. Best of all, the defense has gotten more aggressive, the pass rush is terrific, and the six takeaways over the last two weeks are a big deal. However …

Week 11 Schedule, Predictions, Lines

Why Marshall Will Win

The run defense isn’t even close.

The defensive line might be decent at getting into the backfield from time to time, but it got obliterated for 462 rushing yards against North Texas and allowed 240 or more on the ground in four of the seven games.

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.

CFN College Football Experts Picks

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.
