The Marshall Rams are taking a road trip to take on the Harlan Hawks at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Marshall is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 31 points last Saturday, they were much more limited against Sotomayor on Friday. They lost to the WILDCATS at home by a 21-7 margin.
Despite the loss, Marshall got top-tier performance from Jalen Glover, who rushed for 200 yards. Glover's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 187 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Harlan). They put the hurt on O'Connor with a sharp 57-31 victory on Friday. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Hawks with their most commanding win of the season.
Adrien Mcdade continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 138 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.6 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards. Harlan also got help from Payton Matthews, who showed off his sure hands for 100 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Harlan was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 241 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Harlan's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Dwayne Wingfield and Alexander Ciccarello.
Marshall now has a losing record at 2-3. As for Harlan, they pushed their record up to 3-1 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season.
Marshall beat Harlan 32-24 in their previous matchup back in October of 2021.
