The Appalachian State Mountaineers are playing against the Marshall Thundering Herd at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia. The Appalachian State Mountaineers are 1-0 this year, following a 15-point win against the Charlotte 49ers. The Marshall Thundering Herd are 1-0 this year, following a 59-point win against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels. Marshall only gave up 166 yards of total offense to Eastern Kentucky in their last game. Appalachian State had 512 total yards in their last game. The Thundering Herd defense will have to step up to stop this Appalachian State offense.

The Appalachian State Mountaineer had 512 total yards in their last game and will look to run the ball better a lot against Marshall. The Mountaineers are led by senior running back, Marcus Williams Jr. Williams had 14 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown in Appalachian State’s win.

The Marshall Thundering Herd had 627 total yards in their last game and will look to have some of the same success against a team that struggled to stop the run. Marshall is led by freshman quarterback, Grant Wells. Wells had a great last time out, throwing for 307 yards and 4 touchdowns.

In this matchup I like the Marshall Thundering Herd to win on the over. Marshall is a good offensive and defensive team and the Mountaineers looked like they struggled in their last outing. The Thundering Herd have a great quarterback and he will lead them to a great upset victory at home. Final score prediction, Marshall Thundering Herd win but our top play is on the over 42-39.
