Marshall Thundering Herd are the better team and have put together the better body of work, but they’ve also had issues finishing drives offensively and have yet to win a comfortable game against FBS teams. The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns have clear issues of their own, but they’re also a decent defensive side that’s allowed them to hang in all 5 of their games this season. Louisiana-Lafayette is 46th in run defense and 36th in scoring defense. I’ll take a shot with the free touchdown.
