Herd football claims crucial C-USA victory

Five Florida Atlantic turnovers led to a 31-7 Marshall win Saturday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.

With the win, the Herd improved to 5-2 (3-1 Conference USA) while FAU moved to 3-4 (1-2 C-USA).

“I said last week it was our most complete game up to date and I think this week topped that,” head coach Doc Holliday said. “Anytime that you can create five turnovers and don’t turn the ball over on offense, you have a great shot at winning.”

Marshall took a 3-0 lead at 14:23 in the 2nd quarter with a 40-yard field goal by redshirt junior kicker Justin Rohrwasser.
