The defense is ranked 30th on PFF. They are led by Steven Gilmore younger brother of NFL player Stephon Gilmore. They have 7 players with atleast 1 sack this season. A shut down corner and depth will be crucial against Troy who likes to throw the ball.
They are 2-1 against the spread this year including a cover over Notre Dame.

The Trojans offense is ranked 69th on PFF and led by quarterback Gunnar Watson. He is more of a pocket passer, he will look to extend plays to find open teammates down the field with only 5 scrambles on 132 drop backs.

Troy is ranked 19th on PFF on the defensive side of the ball. They are led by leading tackler and safety Craig Slocum Jr. Upfront they are led by bookends T.J. Jackson and Will Choloh both will be asked to step up to stop Marshalls running game.

4* Free Thundering Herd vs. Trojans NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
I see all the value in Marshall. I believe they will be able to shut down the one dimensional Troy offense. The corners they have will be able to stay close to the wideouts of Troy and make them make tough catches. When they get the lead they will be able to chip away at the game with the stud Khalan Laborn. Also, Troy may have a let up this week after an emotional loss last week.
