Honoring 30 seniors in their final home game of the 2021 season, Charlotte’s inability to stop the flood allowed the Marshall Thundering Herd to wash them away early, cruising to a 49-28 victory under the lights at Jerry Richardson Stadium on Saturday.
Coming out gnashing their teeth through the first possession, Charlotte methodically converted a 16-play drive that saw three conversions on fourth down turn into six points on a roll-out dart from Reynolds to “Sweet Feet” Keith Pearson for Pearson’s third touchdown in the last two weeks alone.
Marshall quickly responded with a 75-yard touchdown drive of their own, reaching paydirt in nearly half the time, capping off their push with a 25-yard touchdown scamper from redshirt freshman Rasheen Ali.
