Apparently it will be shown on Stadium TV via Fubo streaming, whatever that may be.

Final Score Marshall 38 WKU 14

Marshall made a statement on their two play opening drive for a touchdown with Brandon Knox's 45 yard touchdown run. WKU self destructed as The Herd converted three turnovers for 21 points.

Marshall used a balanced attack for 344 total yards and dominated time of possession 35 minutes to 25. The Herd defense held WKU to 85 yards rushing.

I was somewhat surprised Marshall did not show much "rust" from their three week layoff and conversely WKU just seemed disinterested in playing.

Marshall moved to 4-0 and 2-0 in CUSA with a workman like 35-17 road win against Louisiana Tech.

The Herd held Tech to 267 total yards and.only 24 minutes in time of possession.

Marshall gained 402 yards with 175 yards rushing. Brandon Knox was a workhorse with 32 carries for125 yards. Grant Wells was an efficient 19 for 24_in passing with 227 yards, 2 touchdowns against 1 interception.

Next up for Marshall will be Florida Atlantic on 10/24/20 in Huntington. That game, or at least fans in the stands, might be in jeopardy as Cabell County is trending high on contagion cases.

That is likely. Marshall is 12th in the Sagarin Rankings, the second highest rated Group of 5 team behind BYU.

They play with a lot of intensity in all three phases.

I think gettin national air time every week this year has really helped !

Marshall 22nd in AP poll, 25th in Coaches poll. Well deserved recognition.

Marshall (4-0 , 2-0 CUSA) entertains Florida Atlantic (1-0 , 1-0 CUSA) this Saturday for a 2:30 pm kick at Edwards Stadium.

FAU last played October 3rd when they defeated UNC Charlotte 21-17. FAU's season has been derailed due to positive covid 19 tests within the program and their scheduled opponents. The Owls will be led by Indiana transfer Nick Tronti at quarterback.

Marshall has been lead by the rushing of Brandon Knox and a solid defense.

This game likely will determine who will qualify for the conference championship game from the CUSA -East division. Marshall defeated FAU 36-31 last season, but the Owls went on to win the conference championship.

Marshall is listed as a 17 point favorite with TV coverage on the Stadium network.
