My Marshall/MiaOh take
Marshall's won and covered 5 years in a row in this series.
They did so last year as a 1 point underdog, but now show up as nearly a 2 TD dog. Part of that is reaction to how red hot these Red Hawks are. They've won 8 in a row after a season-opening loss to rugged Iowa. 4 of the last 5 of those wins came by at least 23 points.
Marshall's 6-3 with 4 striaght wins over weak opponents. None of their 3 losses have come by more than 10 points.
Thundering Herd QB Hill has been dinged up, but the Herd has marched on behind his backup. And Marshall, usually a pass-happy unit has blended in a solid gournd game lately.
Normally, I'd be attracted by Marshall's series dominance and their history of being competitive against some of the best programs in the country, but this Miami team is very good right now. They simply annihilated a very sound Bowling Green team last week. There's no way I'm going to recommend stepping in front of this locomotive right now.
I'm taking Miami minus the points
