So far, looking like the well coached team they always are against the #24 Broncos…up 7-0 with 6:00 to go in the first half.

The Herd looked great on D for the most part, and it took some very good QB play for Boise to start moving the ball. But this is a case where the scoreboard didn’t really show how much better Boise was. All that said, Marshall having a very good D is not a surprise and they will be a handful for C-USA teams.

The loss was enough in itself, but the other Owls may have also lost their starting QB Wiley Green after he took a nasty shot to the head and was carted off the field for a CT scan afterwards.

The Herd's lone score comes in the first quarter, as they are shut out (and down) in the 2nd half altogether.
