South Alabama at Marshall: What to Watch For

The South Alabama Jaguars travel to Marshall Thundering Herd on Tuesday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
South Alabama enters riding a 2-game winning streak after defeating Arkansas State Red Wolves 56-49 last week, extending its unbeaten Sun Belt record, while Marshall seeks to snap a two-game skid following a 27-21 loss to Coastal Carolina Chanticleers on October 10.
The Jaguars' trio of running backs—Keenan Phillips, PJ Martin and Traevon Dunbar—have combined for 1,146 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns this season, averaging over 4.5 yards per rush and giving South Alabama a ferocious ground attack.
Marshall's defense allows 193.8 rushing yards per contest, creating a significant mismatch; with both defenses surrendering substantial yardage, oddsmakers set the over/under at 64.5 points, projecting a high-scoring affair.
South Alabama's dominant 28-0 victory over Marshall in 2023 sets the historical tone, though the Jaguars have surrendered 84 points over two Sun Belt contests this season while forcing 11 turnovers defensively.
