Marshall Defense: A Force to be Reckoned With Ahead of Showdown Against Old Dominion

Marshall's impressive average of only 15.7 points allowed per game ranks 22nd in the country. The Marshall defense boasts one of the nation's best secondaries and limits opponents to an average of 158.7 yards passing per game. This could prove problematic for Old Dominion who, despite an average 225.5 yards passing per game (84th in the country), have three wide receivers listed as questionable, one of whom is Javon Harvey (166 yards, 1 TD). For their part, Marshall's offense averages 163.3 yards per game on the ground and 231.7 through the air. This could take advantage of Old Dominion's weak secondary, which allows an average of 245 yards passing per game (97th). To make matters worse for the Monarchs, there is a slight quarterback controversy, as starter Grant Wilson was pulled in the second quarter against Texas A&M Commerce and replaced by Jack Shields. It is unclear who will start Saturday.
