UTEP at Marshall

Marshall is a big home favorite and likes to run, but Texas-El Paso is all about defense and slowing the pace down. UTEP has allowed the fewest field goals (150) in Conference USA play and leads the league in three-point field goal percentage defense (27.4%). After a rough start to the season, UTEP has won three of four behind that defense. Marshall is 4-10 ATS following a straight up win of more than 20 points. UTEP leads the series 10-4, winning three of the last five at Marshall, so back the big dog that will control the pace. Play UTEP.
