Live scores, highlights and updates from the Marshall vs. Virginia Tech football game
The Marshall Thundering Herd will be playing at home against the Virginia Tech Hokies at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Marshall will be looking to extend their current 7-game winning streak.
Last Saturday, Marshall's game was all tied up 10-10 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They strolled past East Carolina with points to spare, taking the game 31-13. With that win, Marshall brought their scoring average up to 26 points per game.
Marshall can attribute much of their success to RB Rasheen Ali, who rushed for 85 yards and three touchdowns. Ali was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 56 yards. WR Caleb McMillan loomed large in the win by picking up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Virginia Tech traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road doesn't seem to have gotten any smoother. They took a 35-16 bruising from Rutgers on Saturday.
Nobody from Virginia Tech had a standout game, but they still got scores from QB Kyron Drones and RB Bhayshul Tuten.
Looking ahead, Marshall are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by five points. They finished last season with an even 6-6 record against the spread.
Marshall ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 5-4 when favored last season. Thundering Herd fans who chose to bet on their team sure did well last year: betting $100 on them to win every matchup netted those bettors $1,833.01. On the other hand, Virginia Tech were 1-6 as the underdog last season.
