Marshall didn’t get a lot of time to show how good its passing game can be, what with Tulane controlling the ball more than half the game.

But, in their limited opportunities, quarterback Brian Anderson and Co. looked better than they have all season.

Anderson had his best game since the season opener against Southern Illinois in Saturday’s 31-10 win at Tulane. With most of the Green Wave’s attention on tailback Darius Marshall, the Herd was able to operate its air attack effectively.

“We came out and executed very well,” Anderson said Monday. “We didn’t have the ball a whole lot, but when we did we definitely made the best of it.”

Anderson was on target, completing 18 of 22 passes for 207 yards, one touchdown and one interception. His 21-yard touchdown pass to Chuck Walker put the Herd ahead 21-7 with 34 seconds to play before halftime.

It was a vast improvement for Anderson from his performances of the previous four games, when he combined to go 52 of 101 for 440 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.
