Marshall vs Troy Game Preview
Why Marshall Will Win
What was that?
Marshall pulled off the stunner against Notre Dame, everyone was fired up, and then came the three giveaways and the total meltdown in the secondary in a strange loss at Bowling Green.
The team is still strong.
The running game continues to be fantastic, the defense is better than it showed against the Falcons, and the team has the right mix to get out of a tough road game like this alive.
The Troy defense is awful on third downs, it doesn’t run the ball a lick, and it’s about to get pounded on by the Herd backs.

It’ll come down to the final few drives, and …
Troy’s heart will get broken for the second week in a row, but this time it’ll be on a field goal.
