Both teams saw their Sun Belt seasons take a hit from Georgia Southern – Marshall lost last week 24-23 in painful late fashion, and Georgia State dropped the date 38-21 at the end of September.
The Panthers are 0-2 in the conference, and now comes the hard part with four straight road games and five in the next six. On the flip side, Marshall begins a key run of three home games in the next four.

Why Georgia State Will Win
GA State does not have a running game, so their throwing attack needs to pick up speed quickly.
In every game, Christian Veilleux has thrown for more than 210 yards, but he can not avoid picking off the ball; he lost to Georgia Southern by throwing three interceptions. Things should be okay for the Panthers as long as they do not mess up.
In the loss to Georgia Southern, Marshall was hit for 329 yards. In the last four games, they have given up at least 289 yards. The Panthers need to set the pace, but…
Why Marshall Will Win
Georgia State’s defense is not good enough.
Get 200 yards on the ground and get to Georgia State. Old Dominion, Georgia Tech, and Georgia Southern could all get over two bills, and each run averaged over four yards.
Marshall has run for 200 yards or more in each of the last three games. As a whole, the team’s runs for more than five yards each season.
Georgia State vs Marshall: Who Will Win
You do not have to guess here.
The best running game in the Sun Belt will take over early on, and the Herd defense will be in charge of third downs. After what happened last week, things will get back on track.
Marshall should be in charge the whole time.
