Both teams are below average when it comes to stopping the opposition from putting points on the board this season. Marshall is 91st in that category by allowing 27.3 points per game while Georgia State is 99th by giving up 29.4 points per contest. Marshall has a dangerous weapon on the ground in A.J. Turner, who is averaging 9.6 yards per carry this season while piling up 540 yards. The Thundering Herd also have thrown 14 touchdown passes against only two picks on the year. Georgia State has struggled against the run, giving up 174.8 yards per game, 4.6 yards per carry and 12 touchdowns this season. Marshall has their own defensive woes and that should help the offenses take center stage to push this game over the total.
