11/30/19 - *Brenden Knox, rJr/2021, Marshall, 5-11, 215 (DS#17 RB) + More +

Brenden Knox scored on a 1-yard run in overtime to cap a 146-yard day and Marshall edged Florida International 30-27 on Saturday. Knox ripped a 24-yard run up the middle on the previous play, his 32nd carry, to set up his winner. The Panthers had taken the lead on a 35-yard field goal by Jose Borregales on the opening possession of overtime. His 41-yarder with 21 seconds left, which capped a 12-play, 48-yard drive in the final two minutes, sent the game to overtime. Marshall (8-4, 6-2 Conference USA), had a 17-7 lead entering the fourth quarter. Anthony Jones closed a 75-yard drive with a 9-yard TD run on the first play of the period.

On the next snap, Alexy Jean-Baptiste recovered a fumble on the Marshall 22. The next play James Morgan dumped the ball over the middle to Tony Gaiter IV, who took it to the end zone for a 21-17 FIU lead. Isaiah Green found Xavier Gaines wide open in the end zone for an 18-yard score that gave the Herd a 24-21 lead with 2:16 remaining. Gaines had a rushing and receiving touchdown for the Thundering Herd, which would play for the Conference USA title if East Division leader Florida Atlantic falls to Southern Mississippi later in the day. Morgan threw for 236 yards and Gaiter had nine catches for 107 for FIU (6-6, 3-5). - AP College Football

NOV 18 CONFERENCE USA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Marshall junior LB Tavante Beckett tallied 13 tackles (six solo), a fumble recovery and return of 16 yards, along with a pass breakup in Marshall's 31-10 victory over Louisiana Tech. With the Thundering Herd defense backed up to its own 11 early in the fourth quarter, he raced into the backfield on 4th and 1 and scooped up the loose ball, rumbling to the LA Tech 40 to set up the game-clinching Brenden Knox touchdown run. The Chesapeake, Virginia, native was all over the field for the Herd, leading a unit that limited the league's top offense to just 10 points, 67 rushing yards and 261 yards of total offense. LA Tech also went just 6-for-17 on 3rd down attempts and 0-2 on fourth down. - Conference USA Football

11/15/19 - *Brenden Knox, rJr/2021, Marshall, 5-11, 215 (DS#17 RB) + More +

Isaiah Green and Brenden Knox accounted for two touchdowns apiece and Marshall handed Louisiana Tech its first Conference USA loss 31-10 on Friday night. Green was 14-of-26 passing for 213 yards with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Willie Johnson and added a rushing touchdown. Knox rushed for 113 yards on 25 carries and scored twice. The Herd (7-3, 5-1), who won their fifth straight, moved into a tie with Florida Atlantic atop the East standings. The Bulldogs (8-2, 5-1), who hadn't lost since falling to Texas in their season opener, are a half-game ahead of Southern Mississippi in the West. Louisiana Tech opened the scoring with a 5-yard run by Justin Henderson, but a field goal and the touchdown pass put Marshall on top in the second quarter. In the final minute of the first half, Kevin Murphy recovered a fumble by Brady Farlow at the La Tech 1 and Knox punched it in with 40 seconds to go for a 17-7 lead. The Bulldogs kicked a field goal in the third quarter but that was all they could manage. Marshall piled up 405 yards of offense, while La Tech was held to 261. - AP College Football

10/28/19 - Kereon Merrell, rSr/2020, Marshall, 5-11, 179 (DS#176 CB) + More +

OCT 28/WEEK 9 CONFERENCE USA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Marshall senior CB Kereon Merrell had a huge hand in staking the Thundering Herd to a two-touchdown, first-quarter lead in the Marshall's 26-23 victory over WKU. The senior picked off a pass near midfield (his first career interception) and the Thundering Herd cashed that in for a touchdown on the ensuing drive. On the very next drive, Merrell fell on a loose ball in the WKU backfield near midfield (his second career fumble recovery) and Marshall scored three plays later to take a 14-0 lead just over eight minutes into Saturday's action. Eight of the Vienna, Georgia, native's 10 tackles were solos and he helped Marshall limit WKU to just a 5-for-13 clip on third down. This season, Merrell is Marshall's fifth-leading tackler with 42 tops. - Conference USA Football

10/28/19 - Justin Rohrwasser, rSr/2020, Marshall, 6-3, 234 (DS#14 K) + More +

OCT 28/WEEK 9 CONFERENCE USA SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Marshall senior K Justin Rohrwasser had a huge day for the Thundering Herd, booting four field goals, including a game-winning, career-long 53-yarder as time expired to lift Marshall to a 26-23 win over WKU. During the game, he connected on a (then-) career-long 46 yarder in the second quarter, followed by kicks from 31 and 43 yards prior to the game-winner. The Clifton Park, New York, native also made two extra points for a 14-point day.

His 53-yard field goal is tied for the fourth-longest made kick in school history, and tied for the third-longest made kick in Joan C. Edwards Stadium history. The 53-yarder is the longest in 217 games at Marshall, since Curtis Head made a kick of the same distance against Buffalo in 2002. Rohrwasser tied a school record with those four field goals, equaling the four made by four others, most recently Justin Haig (MVP vs. Louisiana Tech in the 2014 C-USA Championship Game). He is a perfect 11-for-11 on field goals this season, and has made 12 consecutive field goals dating back to last season. - Conference USA Football

10/22/19 - *Brenden Knox, rJr/2021, Marshall, 5-11, 215 (DS#17 RB) + More +

OCT 21/WEEK 8 CONFERENCE USA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Marshall sophomore RB Brenden Knox ran 23 times for a career-high 220 yards (the nation's second-highest rushing total last weekend) and two touchdowns in Marshall's 36-31 win at Florida Atlantic. The final score came on a 17-yard run with 36 seconds left to propel the Thundering Herd past the Owls. It was the sophomore's second touchdown of the evening after plunging in from one yard out in the waning seconds of the first half. Of those 23 carries, none went for negative yardage. He also caught one pass for four yards. The Columbus, Ohio, native has scored a rushing touchdown in five of the last six games and has 11 rushing scores in his 12 career games.

His 220 yards ranks eighth on the Marshall list for most rushing yards in a game and he became just the fifth Marshall player with multiple 200-yard games. His 226 all-purpose yards at Florida Atlantic are the most by a Marshall player since Tyre Brady had 248 yards at NC State in 2017. Knox is No. 4 nationally for rushing yards this month (423) and ranks No. 7 nationally in rushes of 10+ yards this season with 24. - C-USA Football

10/18/19 - *Brenden Knox, rJr/2021, Marshall, 5-11, 215 (DS#17 RB) + More +

Brenden Knox scored the go-ahead touchdown with 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter and Marshall beat Florida Atlantic 36-31 on Friday night. Knox finished with 23 carries for 220 yards and two touchdowns for the Thundering Herd (4-3, 2-1 Conference USA). His game-winning 17-yard TD run capped a 10-play, 77-yard drive and was the fourth lead change of the fourth quarter. Marshall failed to convert the two-point attempt after Knox's TD, but on the next play from scrimmage the Herd's Steven Gilmore intercepted Chris Robison's pass to secure the victory.

Robison scored on a 1-yard keeper to give the Owls (4-3, 2-1) a 24-22 lead with 10:09 left in the game. Less than a minute later, Isaiah Green's 60-yard TD pass to Willie Johnson put Marshall ahead 30-24. Marshall failed on the two-point conversion and FAU took the lead on Malcolm Davidson's 2-yard TD run with 3:36 left. Robison passed for 369 yards. - Marshall/AP College Football

OCT 14/WEEK 7 CONFERENCE USA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Marshall senior DL Darius Hodge tied a school record with 4.5 sacks to go with his seven tackles in Marshall's 31-17 home win over Old Dominion. The 26 yards lost on those sacks tied for third-most in school history. The Thundering Herd racked up a season-high eight sacks as a team, tied for the second-most in school annals. Hodge's 4.5 sacks tied a school record set by Cecil Fletcher on Sept. 13, 1986 at Ohio. The Wake Forest, North Carolina, native also tied two others for the third-most sacks in Conference USA history, equaling the 4.5 sacks by Louisiana Tech's Houston Bates against Illinois in 2014, and FAU's Martin Wright against FIU in 2013.. Hodge's sack total is also the most by a Marshall player in Joan C. Edwards Stadium history. - Conference USA Football
