HUNTINGTON — Jerseys differ, but schemes and talent are very much the same when scouting the Marshall and Southern Miss football teams.
Both teams boast a top-shelf tight end, the tailbacks rank among Conference USA’s elite and both defenses are quarterbacked by future NFL players — USM linebacker Gerald McRath and Marshall free safety C.J. Spillman.
Southern Miss certainly is more established and experienced overall, but similar programs clash Saturday when Marshall (2-1, 1-0 C-USA) and the Golden Eagles (2-1, 0-0) match up at M.M. Roberts Stadium. Kickoff at “The Rock” is 3:30 p.m. and CSS will televise the game.
