TAMPA, Fla. – Marshall football’s bowl game win streak reached seven games Thursday night, as the Thundering Herd (9-4, 6-2 C-USA) defeated South Florida (7-6, 3-5 American), 38-20, in the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl at Raymond James Stadium.
Head coach Doc Holliday, who is a perfect 6-0 in bowl games at Marshall, said, “The ones you win are the ones you remember. There’s nothing like that locker room after a bowl game win. Fortunately, we’ve had six straight that have been happy locker rooms. There’s nothing better than that.”
After a slow start to the first quarter, Marshall’s offense came alive on an 81-yard drive capped by Isaiah Green’s first career rushing touchdown – a 10-yard run off the left edge.
