Marshall Football: Herd Defeats Tulsa 45-34 on Emotional Night

It looked like a blowout, Marshall (7-3, 5-1) came out on fire at Tulsa (2-8, 1-5), scoring 21 unanswered first quarter points in what appeared to be an insurmountable deficit. The Golden Hurricanes had other ideas, taking advantage of five Thundering Herd turnovers to secure a 34-31 fourth quarter lead. Needing points, Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato engineered a 5 play, 39 yard drive capped by a touchdown pass to Tommy Shuler which put the Herd up for good. Marshall added a late touchdown, bringing the final score to 45-34.
