Marshall had one of two ways to reach bowl eligibility. It could win Saturday’s Sun Belt Conference game against Appalachian State to reach the needed six wins and end the bowl hopes for the Mountaineers at the same time.
Instead, the Mountaineers put the Herd bowl hopes on hold and extended theirs thanks to rallying from a 12-point deficit to edge Thundering Herd, 26-24, on a 23-yard field goal by Dominic DeFreitas with 2:06 left to play at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, N.C.
