Louisiana has lost its head coach, its veteran quarterback and its top three tacklers on defense. Louisiana has played Chandler Fields and Fresno State transfer Ben Wooldridge at quarterback this season. Marshall's offense is predicated on Florida State's Khalan Laborn, who is ranked fourth in the nation with 731 rushing yards.

Louisiana and Marshall want to run the football, but both teams are better defensively against the run than they are against pass. Henry Colombi has been hit or miss for Marshall this season. The weather forecast is calling for rain in Huntington on Wednesday night. Under 47.5 (-110) is the favorite.

Marshall's offense has been struggling since the 31-point loss to Bowling Green. The Thundering Herd have scored only 28 points in regulation time in any game against FBS-level competition this season. Louisiana's defense has a solid against the run.
