I?ve been thinking about this and my first reaction was that Marshall would lose. IMO if they approach this different than past games with WKU, Herd wins.
Marshall needs to realize they are going to get WKUs best shot no matter what. With that said, Marshall needs to come out and punch them in the mouth. Get in that teams head early. Stand on them when they are down. Don?t let up. WKU is gonna score some points. Defensively - play aggressive, jam, hit and disrupt those receivers. Play up close, disrupt the rhythm. Sure there will be some pass interference calls but do not back down.
Offensively, run a well balanced game and keep WKU guessing. They are going to key on the running game so mu must be prepared for that.
Marshall can win this one.
31-24 Herd
