Marshall Football gained bowl eligibility on Saturday, Nov. 9, after dismantling the Southern Miss Golden Eagles 37-3 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
With the win over the Golden Eagles, the Herd moves to 4-1 in the Sun Belt Conference and 6-3 overall, maintaining its chances at a shot for the SBC title.
The Marshall defense, led by Mike Green, kept Southern Miss in check the entire game. The only score was a field goal in the first half. The defense tallied five sacks on the day with Green accounting for three of them.
“I’m really proud of their willingness to continue to prepare and grind and to come out today in a tough environment and execute,” Marshall head coach Charles Huff said.
