Marshall (5-5, 3-3 Conference USA), ended the game with its top two offensive threats on crutches and all but eliminated from East Division championship contention. Leading receiver Cody Slate, among the nation's top tight ends, and tailback Darius Marshall, one of NCAA Division I-A's leading rushers, both suffered leg injuries
