It was a hard-fought contest, but Marshall had to settle for a 24-13 defeat against Charlotte last week. One thing holding the Thundering Herd back was the mediocre play of quarterback Isaiah Green. He failed to produce a single touchdown and threw two interceptions with a completion percentage of just 35.3. Green has had an up-and-down season, but the rushing attack has been buoyed by the consistency of Brenden Knox. The sophomore has rushed for 1,138 yards and 10 touchdowns this season and the Thundering Herd are a perfect 5-0 straight up this season when he eclipses 100 yards.

Despite 100 penalty yards, FIU secured a 30-24 upset over Miami (FL). FIU running back Anthony Jones was one of the most active players for the squad as he rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Tony Gaiter IV and Shemar Thornton combined for 12 catches, 152 yards and two touchdowns receiving as well. Meanwhile, the FIU defense forced three Miami turnovers and that was the key to the monster upset as 20.5-point underdogs.
