Marshall came tearing into Friday's matchup with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 33.3 points), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Whitehouse Wildcats, posting a 49-7 victory. Considering the Mavericks have won four contests by more than 29 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Marshall to victory, but perhaps none more so than Denijh Montgomery, who rushed for 78 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. Those four rushing touchdowns gave Montgomery a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Alton Henderson, who threw for 195 yards and a pair of TDs on only 16 passes.

Marshall's run defense was locked in: Whitehouse could only muster three yards per carry. The team can thank Blanton Hale for the heroic effort on defense: he. Marshall didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 6.1.

Marshall's defense also made the game a nightmare for Austin Holmes, racking up 19 sacks. Brandon Richardson and Da'Vaughn Tucker were the leaders of the group effort as each produced four apiece. Joel Shepard is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in each of the last nine games he's played.

Marshall's record is now 8-2. As for Whitehouse, they dropped their record down to 2-8 with the loss, which was their fifth straight on the road.

Looking ahead, Marshall will be playing at home against Huntsville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Whitehouse does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
