How to watch Marshall and Central Tennessee
- Date: Saturday, September 20, 2025
- Time: 7:00 ET
- Stream: ESPN (ESPN (Watch now); ESPN, Hulu, Disney+ Bundle (Watch now)
Marshall entered the game 1-2 with a 38-7 win over East Kentucky in the latest outing, with Carlos del Rio-Wilson throwing two touchdowns without an interception, and Justin Williams-Thomas and Jacqai found the finishing area for a long time. The power of the Thunder Herd has been their hasty offense so far, led by Zion Turner, who also showed some runner threats, despite their passing game being one of the weakest in the FBS. Their defense gave up nearly 355 yards per game and allowed too many large games in the air.
Central Tennessee is also 1-2 and scores hard, averaging more than 12 points per game. Their quarterback Nicholas Vattiato made four touchdowns with two interceptions, while running Jekail Middlebrook had some success. Recipient Nahzae Cox is becoming the team's top target. To keep the Blue Raiders apart, they need to avoid turnovers, follow the quarterbacks, and find creative ways to commit crimes against the Marshall defense, which is easily hurt if there is time.
This is an excellent college football game that you don't want to miss. Make sure to listen and capture all actions.
