Not Enough In the Tank 
Posted on October 28, 2013 at 06:20 PM.
The Marshall Thundering Herd stormed into Blacksburg, VA and tried to take off the ranked Virginia Tech Hokies. Highfill kept the game close for about 3 quarters until it looked like the Marshall team did not have enough gas in the tank to get the upset. Highfill says "there was a stretch in the fourth quarter where our team was making dumb mistakes and giving it back to the Hokies offense." He was correct as the Thundering Herd had 3 straight turnovers in the fourth quarter as they were up by one entering the fourth. It could be from them trying to run the clock out and playing conservative. Highfill also says that "we could not stop the run at all today. It was like they were oiled up and they were slick or something." The Hokies rushed for a total 353 yards on the ground.
