These teams used to meet in the FCS Playoffs often as former Southern Conference members. Now they meet in a very good Group of Five matchup in Huntington, W.V. This game will be all about the point of attack and who can win that battle. Marshall's front seven looks a lot like Appalachian State's defense last year. Thundering Herd LB Tavante Beckett is one of the most athletic linebackers in college football and will be able to stop the Mountaineers' potent ground game.
