This is an 8* play on the Northern Illinois Huskies.
For most of this season people have been asking just how good is this Marshall team that was undefeated through it's first 11 games. The answer in my mind came when they lost to Western Kentucky in overtime in their 12th game of the season. They followed that up with another lackluster showing in the C-USA Championship Game, trailing LA Tech 26-13 heading into the fourth quarter, but scoring the game winning TD in the final two minutes.
They face an accomplished Northern Illinois Huskies team, that won it's final seven games of the season, including a 51-17 thrashing of Bowling Green in the MAC Championship Game. NIU RB Cameron Stingily has been a big part of their success, and he ran for 116 yards and a pair of TDs in the win over the Falcons.
Stingily is likely to find a ton of running room against a very soft Marshall defense. The Thundering Herd have allowed an average of 207.7 rushing yards in their last three games. QB Drew Hare also poses a threat with his legs, and he's picked up 615 yards with six rushing TDs during the season. He's also been good at protecting the football, with 17 TDs and just two picks.
An injury to RB Devon Johnson threatens to hurt Marshall's chances, he's been limited to just seven carries in his last two starts. He's still rumored to be bothered by various ailments, but will try to play against the Huskies.
Take NIU.
