Through 3 Quarters

Only one more quarter stands between the Marshall Thundering Herd and the win they were favored to collect going into this night. It's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers as the Thundering Herd lead 38-7. This contest looks like it will end up very different from the tight three-point margin of Marshall's win over WKU in their previous head-to-head October of last year.

Marshall's defense has been flying around the field, snatching three takeaways already. Marshall might just be able to coast to victory if they can keep up that ball pressure

What to Know

The Marshall Thundering Herd have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They are packing up and heading on the road for their first away contest this season. They face off against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Saturday at Houchens-Smith Stadium at 7:30 p.m. ET. Marshall won't have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy a 7-point advantage in the spread.

The Thundering Herd were hampered by 81 penalty yards against the Appalachian State Mountaineers three weeks ago, but luckily for them that wasn't the tale of the game. Marshall beat Appalachian State 17-7. Marshall's RB Brenden Knox was one of the most active players for the squad, rushing for one TD and 138 yards on 28 carries.

Meanwhile, WKU came out on top in a nail-biter against the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders last week, sneaking past 20-17. WKU QB Tyrrell Pigrome did work as he passed for two TDs and 188 yards on 36 attempts in addition to picking up 55 yards on the ground.

Marshall is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7-point margin of victory. Those brave souls putting their money on the Hilltoppers against the spread have faith in an upset since their team's 0-3 record ATS can't hold a candle to Marshall's 2-0.

The wins brought the Thundering Herd up to 2-0 and WKU to 1-2. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Marshall comes into the matchup boasting the ninth fewest interceptions in the nation at one. But WKU is even better: they have yet to throw a single interception. So expect both teams to feel comfortable airing the ball out.
