BOWL PREVIEW: Marshall/ Ohio

The Thundering Herd of Marshall (6-6) enters the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl with two major questions. Can they overcome the late season departure of head coach Mark Snyder and will starting RB Darius Marshall be recovered from a late season ankle injury? Marshall who rushed for 1100 yards and 11 TD's is expected to suit up and interim head coach Rick Minter does have solid experience, as he led the Univ. of Cincinnati two four bowl appearances in his 10 years with the Bearcats. Meanwhile, Ohio (9-4) is led by head coach Frank Solich who turned around a Bobcat squad that finished 4-8 last year. The key here is an Ohio defense that leads the nation in take aways with 36. If inconsistent QB Theo Scott can take care of the ball for the Bobcats the defense should take care of the rest.
