After a series of defensive and special teams miscues, the Herd lost to the Georgia State Panthers 41-24 on Saturday, Oct. 14, in Atlanta, Georgia.
One bright spot of Saturday’s game for the Herd was seeing running back Rasheen Ali score three touchdowns. Quarterback Cam Fancher found Ali in a mesh of Marshall and Georgia State players on a wheel route on the final play of the third quarter for a 65-yard touchdown reception.
With his 174 all-purpose yards and scoring efforts, Ali remains in the top five in FBS in scoring and rushing touchdowns.
“I thought he did a really good job managing the game,” head coach Charles Huff said.
