With the power conference teams knocking each other off, Marshall already in statement mode, really needs to blow out teams to become a fly-in-the-ointment team and make their case for the first ever playoffs. Marshall has won each of their last four games by 30 or more, all covers, the last two by a combined 45. It is clear, the Marshall plan is to destroy teams, their only hope to wear a glass slipper.

MTSU allows teams to get more points, yards per rushing attempt, yards per pass, and yards per play above their normal average, so the just more than three TD spread does not loom so large. Both of MTSU losses were on the road. All signs
point towards at least a four-TD blowout.
