Column Big win in Texas, defense still in shambles

By JEREMY JOHNSON SPORTS EDITOR The Thundering Herd edged out Rice University in a 54-51 double overtime victory Saturday at Rice Stadium. With the win, the Herd picked up their first win in the state of Texas. The team was previously 0-8 in the Lone Star state thanks to a healthy run game. Marshall recorded 334 yards on the ground to go along with six rushing touch- downs. This is a significant turnaround from the 59 yards rushing against Ohio University.
