really like here that this is sitting on a straight 31 and no hook. this should be a barn burner in which last team with the ball wins type of game. I am going with the 1st half total here instead of game to avoid the 2nd half defensive adjustments because these two defensives are actually pretty solid against competition on that level but the offensives are way more explosive.
Marshall has score 59, 48, 45, 56, 61 and 49 in it's last 6 games.
Rice in 4 out of their last 6 games Rice has also put up ridiculous offense numbers scoring 37, 52, and 45 twice.
Marshall averages an insane 513 yards overall per game, they can do it to u on the ground and through the air.
Meanwhile Rice runs all over everybody, rushing for 240 yards a game, and the Marshall D gives up 150 yards rushing a game. The Owls QB isn't too bad air it out either, throwing for over 2,000 yards and 16 TDs.
