What to Know

The Marshall Thundering Herd and the UAB Blazers are set to square off in a Conference USA matchup at 3:30 p.m. ET Nov. 13 at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.

The Florida Atlantic Owls typically have all the answers at home, but last week Marshall proved too difficult a challenge. The Thundering Herd enjoyed a cozy 28-13 victory over Florida Atlantic. The team ran away with 21 points in the first half and mostly just sat on those in the second to pick up the win. Marshall's RB Rasheen Ali did his thing and punched in two rushing touchdowns.

Meanwhile, UAB was hampered by 109 penalty yards against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs last week, but luckily for them that wasn't the tale of the game. UAB beat Louisiana Tech 52-38. RB DeWayne McBride had a dynamite game for the Blazers; he rushed for four TDs and 210 yards on 14 carries.

The Thundering Herd are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The wins brought Marshall up to 6-3 and UAB to 6-3. A pair of defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Marshall is stumbling into the game with the 209th most rushing yards allowed per game in the nation, having given up 211.3 on average. UAB has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 212th worst in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, with 18 on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
