Marshall vs Appalachian State Prediction

I’ll lean toward Marshall but it’s close. The Herd didn’t look great in their latest loss to Georgia Southern over the weekend. Marshall put up 412 yards on offense with 250 rushing yards but also had a couple of turnovers and went just 4-of-13 on third downs. The defense gave up 21 first downs and 454 yards to the Eagles without a takeaway. Marshall has been below 22 points in three of their last four games so they’re going to need to push the issue on the scoreboard quickly here.

As for App State, they had a pretty rough offensive day in their latest loss to a decent Georgia State team. The Mountaineers posted 356 yards with 18 first downs but went just 3-of-10 on third-down tries and coughed up three turnovers. The defense gave up 380 yards and 20 first downs on the other side without a takeaway. App State has lost consecutive games now and four of the last six. They’ve surrendered 31 or more points in three of the last four, so Marshall shouldn’t have a ton of trouble finding points in this one if all goes well.
