Ohio at Marshall

Quietly the Ohio Bobcats have had 10 straight seasons of .500 or better. They have had eight of those seasons at eight wins or more. This team is pretty good and will be a player in the MAC this season. They played at Pittsburgh last game and lost by just 10. Marshall has had a good run themselves and a lot of this line has to do with their eye-opener last week at Boise State. The Thundering Herd lost just 14-7, but the box score doesn't look like the final score. They were beaten badly on both sides of the ball as they were outgained 437-172. This line reflects too much of that final score and too little of the reality. I'm backing Ohio in this one.
