Marshall was a huge disappointment last week, getting rolled at home by Cincinnati. Still they have conference play to look forward to.
MTSU got smacked pretty good too by Iowa so neither teams should have much confidence.
It says a lot about where these teams are at that Marshall is such a heavy favourite even after last week and on the road.
Marshall Thundering Herd
Every once in a while there is a result that totally throws you, such was the case after Marshall got destroyed by Cincinnati last week.

Marshall was down 45-0 against the Bearcats, a team that I thought was a pretty even match for them. Some late scores made it less terrible but it was a really bad game.
When you drill down on the stats things look even worse because the Thundering Herd did not turn the ball over. There was no luck for Cincinnati. They also had fewer penaties.
Marshall prides itself on defense and they just got embarrassed. There is no other way to describe it.
The offense was anemic too. Cincinnati had more than double their yards as QB Isaiah Green was off target often. He and the rest of the team really need to tighten things up.
MTSU Blue Raiders
MTSU has three losses, all to Power 5 opponents. There is no shame there but they got worse with each one losing to Iowa 48-3.

Sophomore Asher O’Hara is a dual threat but the Blue Raiders did nothing with the ball when they had it against the Hawkeyes. Like Marshall, no turnovers, they just got beat.
Unlike Marshall there is not much hope for a rebound on defense. Even when MTSU is solid it is more about the offense.
If the Blue Raiders are going to have success they have to jump on Marshall early. Maybe they can get them while they are still down on themselves. Of course that would require them feeling good too but they probably shouldn’t either.

Free Week 6 NCAA Football Pick
Before last week’s games I would have definitely made the Thundering Herd a favourite. After it is harder to justify.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Marshall -6
The real problem with Marshall is I don’t like their offense right now. This is not a big number but I am not sure they can build a nice lead to make you comfortable.
MTSU has to be looking forward to being at home and being in a game where they have a chance. They will come up short though.
