HUNTINGTON — You can say Marshall’s 27-24 loss to Charlotte never should have come down to a missed field goal, but the fact is this: Amareto Curraj had a chance to send the game to overtime.
But he knocked the ball wide left, allowing the 49ers to take three knees and get out of Joan C. Edwards Stadium with their second win in three weeks.
It was the second game in two years the Thundering Herd has seen a potential win go by the wayside because of missed field goals. The other game was the triple-overtime loss in 2015 at Middle Tennessee State.
