Official Marshall Game Score Prediction Thread

[MeanGreenTexan]

So it's Thursday, and no game score prediction thread yet...

Marshall is coming to Denton on a 3-game losing streak after whipping FCS Morgan State.   They are giving up a ton of pts on defense, unfortunately, they're also scoring a ton of points.   They've had a rough schedule so far, including losing to Akron big...  However, many have pointed out that their QB went down in that game with a concussion, and he's back now.   Marshall needs this one to get back on track, and to start their conference play 1-0.

NT is still struggling offensively and should be able to move the ball against Marshall a little more than what MT allowed.  The defense is certainly going to have their hands full.  I anticipate this one scoring a little more than the MT game last week, but the outcome will be another L for the good Green guys...

NT - 24
Marshall - 34

I think we have a better shot at a W than vs. MUTS, but will probably come up short.

Bad Green 28

Good Green 21

I think this game will come down to which team can drive the ball down in the final 2 minutes and put their team on top.  I am worried about our youth on offense having the ability to do this.  However, I think our defense will force a HUGE turnover and return the ball within field goal range.  We run 3 plays to inch us closer and we seal the game with a 38-yard field goal from Trevor Moore. Final Score:

Good Guys 34

Bad Guys 31

Is the part in bold really relevant?  I'm not calling you out--as I too have heard this numerous times.  But, looking at the box score, it shows that Litton threw 57 times while the backup only had two pass attempts.  Litton's absence in their game against Louisville probably did hurt them, but I'm not sure it had any impact at all on the Akron game.  Someone please clarify, if I'm missing something here.

[Eagle-96]

Our OL is really really bad and until we get that in order I can't see us moving the ball with any consistency.

If he was already concussed during the Akron game but stayed in, that would explain all the interceptions/fumbles. I didn't watch the game so I don't if that's the case but if it is, that could potentially explain the Akron game. If he was hurt on this play http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=17570695 and it was early in the second quarter with plenty of time for him to throw the game away with poor decisions. Don't know, just speculating.

That's fair.  Of course, he did still throw for over 400 yards and 4 TDs, so it wasn't like he was a disaster--even with the interceptions.

Ok, but I think we need some specifics and not these broad brush generalities...

Okay let me check my magic 8 ball lol

Uhm tipped pass LB comes down with it and gets us down to the 32-yard line.  2 run plays spike the ball field goal unit run on the field.  BALL GAME

[MeanGreenMailbox aka TFLF]

Them:  More than 30
Us: 14 at most...with the last points scored on a "great" drive late in the fourth quarter when the game is out of reach and our backups are on the sidelines laughing and yucking it up to the dismay of the hardcore patron who keeps paying to watch the sh*t live in person.

I think our defense keeps them under 30.....just hoping we can score more than 20....

Mean green - 24

[oldguystudent]

Low scoring affair through three quarters until our defense gets tired after being on the field for 38 of the first 45 minutes.  

Through 3 quarters, Marshall 14, UNT 10.  

Final score:

Marshall -- 31

UNT -- 17

o/u is 64... I'll take the over, I think there will be plenty of points on the board 

[pastorgrant]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we get the upset.

UNT - 31

They Are Marshall - 27

[Travis]

I am seeing the overall sentiment of hope declining.  Not to say I blame you because of what we seen... and just the reality of it all.

 

I think we squeak out with a win and get this running game going.
27-26
