What you should know
The Marshall Thundering Herd and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns will face off in a Sun Belt bout on October 12 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Marshall has a defense that only allows 16.2 points per game, so Louisiana’s offense will have their job cut out for them.
When you finish by 279 yards ahead of your opponent, like the Thundering Herd did two weeks ago, a positive result is almost certain. They were the clear winners with a 28-7 lead over the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs. Marshall’s RB Khalan Laborn was on fire, rushing for two TDs and 191 yards with 35 carries. One of the most memorable plays of the game was Laborn’s 78-yard touchdown rush in the fourth quarter.
Marshall’s defense was also present as it accumulated three interceptions and a fumble. DB Steven Gilmore picked up that interception and then proceeded to rub salt in the wound by taking it back the other way for a touchdown.
Meanwhile, the score was 7-7 at halftime, but Louisiana wasn’t quite on par with the South Alabama Jaguars in the second half when they met two weeks ago. It was close but no cigar for the Ragin’ Cajuns as they lost 20-17 to the Jaguars. Louisiana’s loss came despite a good play from RB Chris Smith, who scooped up 107 yards on the ground on 12 carries. This was the first time Smith had rushed for more than 100 yards all year.
The Thundering Herd is the favorite in this instance with an expected 10.5 point lead over the win. But bettors beware: they are 0-3 against the spread when favored.
Marshall’s win increased them to 3-2, while Louisiana’s loss dropped them to 2-3. We’ll see if Marshall’s success continues or if the Ragin’ Cajuns are able to steal their positive momentum.
