Teams that have defeated Marshall this season have forced the Thundering Herd into turnovers.
Marshall (6-3 overall, 3-2 Conference USA) has committed a combined nine turnovers in losses to North Carolina State, Florida International and Florida Atlantic. The Owls forced Herd quarterback Chase Litton into four interceptions last week in a 30-25 FAU win.
Making the Thundering Herd’s offense make mistakes is a key challenge for Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers (5-4, 3-2) will meet Marshall at 5:30 p.m. CST Saturday. BeIN Sports will carry the broadcast from Huntington, W.Va.
