Marshall @ Army picks

Marshall just watched its coach walk out the door. More worrying, it watched the university administration shove Charles Huff out that door as he was actively winning a conference championship. That adrift locker room will have a miserable time preparing for Army’s explosive rendition of the triple-option offense. The Herd already struggled stopping the run, No. 86 in EPA against on rushes. With its coaching staff in flux and motivation at a lull, that issue will not be fixed before the Independence Bowl on Dec. 28. Jeff Monken has run up a bowl game score before, 70-14 against Houston in 2018, and he may do it again.
