Huntington, WV (SportsNetwork. Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys .com) - With just one game remaining in the regular season, the 19th-ranked Marshall Thundering Herd will try to stay unbeaten as they host the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in a Conference USA bout at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Western Kentucky sits on a 6-5 overall record, and although the Hilltoppers arent going to the Conference USA championship game in their first year as a member of the league, they are bowl eligible. Theyve won three games in a row, including a decisive 45-7 victory over UTSA last weekend. Marshall is one of two unbeaten teams in the nation (Florida State being the other), and already owns a spot in the C-USA championship game with an unblemished league mark. The Herd almost let it all slip away with a narrow 23-18 victory over UAB last weekend. Marshall leads the all-time series with Western Kentucky, 4-1. The last time these new conference rivals met, however, was back in 1996, when the Thundering Herd won, 37-3. Marshall owns a 3-0 advantage in Huntington. Western Kentucky has built a solid foundation this season around its offense, led by quarterback Brandon Doughty. The Hilltoppers enter this game against Marshall averaging 41.9 ppg, which means this could be the most offense Marshall faces all season long. In 11 games, Doughty has thrown for 3,853 yards (ranked second in the FBS - 20 yards behind the injured Connor Halliday of Washington State) with 36 touchdown passes, which is the most in the FBS nation. Last season for the Hilltoppers, the run game was essential. This year its more of a complementary aspect with Leon Allen, who has rushed 1,253 yards and 11 touchdowns. Allen averages a respectable 113.9 rushing ypg, and has carried the ball 226 times this season. Doughty has done an excellent job spreading the ball around to various receivers. Jared Dangerfield leads the team with 56 receptions and 621 yards, adding in a team-high eight touchdown grabs. Willie McNeal (seven touchdowns), Taywan Taylor (six touchdowns) and Antwane Grant (five touchdowns) are all receiving threats for WKU. Offense has been plentiful for the Hilltoppers, but the downfall for the team has been on the defensive side. Western Kentucky allows 36.8 ppg and 483.1 offensive ypg to opponents this season through 11 contests, which has allowed teams like UAB (42 points), Florida Atlantic (45 points) and Louisiana Tech (59 points) to pick up crucial wins against the Hilltoppers. WKU has been especially bad against the run, allowing 224.1 rushing ypg to opponents. Nick Holt has been a threat defensively, racking up 93 tackles with seven tackles for loss and three quarterback hurries. Dejon Brown is the next closest Hilltopper to Holt with 65 tackles on the year, and GeMonee Brown has a team-best eight tackles for loss. The Hilltoppers will need to force some Marshall turnovers in order to stay competitive in this one. Marshalls 23-point outing against UAB was by far the lowest total for the Herd this season, but a win is a win in coach Doc Hollidays eyes. Now the team must pick up its final one in the regular season against the high-scoring Hilltoppers this weekend at home. (Coach) Jeff Brohm has done a tremendous job - theyre bowl eligible for the first year in Conference USA, Holliday said. I think that is a tribute to him and what hes done. Their quarterback, Brandon Doughty, is a tremendous player whos thrown for a ton of yardage. ... Offensively, they score a lot of points, and defensively they are well-coached. They are going to come in here ready to play, and we have to make sure we are too. The Herd are led offensively by Rakeem Cato under center. Cato hasnt necessarily had the campaign many had expected from him, but with 28 touchdown passes, 2,897 yards and a 157.7 passer efficiency rating, he is one of the best leaders and field generals in all of college football. In the run game, a pleasant surprise has been the emergence of Devon Johnson. The tight end convert has carried the ball 184 times this season, and has gained an eye-popping 1,573 yards with 16 touchdowns. And he missed a game with a leg injury. He leads the team with 157.3 rushing ypg, and has helped the Herd score 44.9 ppg this season. Cato has a reliable set of weapons through the air, led by veteran pass catcher Tommy Shuler. Shuler has caught a team-best 57 passes this season for 737 yards and seven touchdowns, while talented freshman Angelo Jean-Louis has racked up 456 yards with five touchdowns in 11 games played. Tight End Eric Frohnapfel is second on the team with 30 receptions, adding 375 yards and a trio of scores to his resume. While Marshalls offense is crushing foes, the teams defense has been doing the same. The Herd are allowing just 16.5 ppg to opponents, including just 324.4 offensive ypg. Only twice this season has a challenger managed to accumulate more than 20 points against the Herd defense, with UABs 18 points being the third-highest total for an opponent this year. Linebacker Neville Hewitt leads Marshalls defense with 91 tackles, and also has registered 10 tackles for loss with 4.5 sacks. The ability to get after opposing quarterbacks and running backs in the backfield has been apparent throughout the season for the Thundering Herd, who have three defensive players that all own tackles for loss totals in the double digits. In the secondary, players like Taj Letman (three interceptions), Darryl Roberts and Corey Tindal will need to be wide awake when going up against one of the nations leading passers. I spoke to Jimbo [Fisher, head coach at Florida State] the other day, and for them to win that many games is tremendous, Holliday said. If winning was easy, there would be a lot more people in this position than us and Florida State. At some point, you have to grind them out. Florida State has had to grind a bunch out, we had to grind one out Saturday and thats a tribute to all of these guys. At the end of the day, its about winning and losing, and in the last two years these guys have won 21 of them.

A little more than one year after missing a last-second tip-in that would have given the Wolverines a share of the Big Ten regular-season title, the 6-foot-8 forward scored on a layup with 7.GOLD COAST, Australia -- The Wallabies completed back-to-back wins with nerve-jangling finishes to stay in contention in the Rugby Championship, holding off a storming finish from Argentina on Saturday for a 32-25 victory. Skipper Michael Hooper crossed for tries at the start of each half and Australia built a 29-13 lead with 20 minutes remaining. But the Pumas rallied with tries from Marcelo Bosch and Joaquin Tuculet and got themselves into a position to draw the match with a last-minute scrum five yards out, under the posts. The powerful Pumas pack conceded a free kick at the crucial moment, though, giving Australia a reprieve only a week after its late comeback win over South Africa. The Wallabies have two wins and a draw in four matches in the tournament, but are six points behind New Zealand and are also behind the Springboks on points differential. Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie said Australia did well to control the game for 50 minutes but later in the match "we found different ways to give them the ball." "The Argentinians got back into it, put a lot of pressure on us," McKenzie said. "Thats what they do. They did it to South Africa and New Zealand. We dont feel like the odd one out there. Youve got to be able to deal with it, and we did at key moments." Light rain before kickoff made the ball and field slippery and contributed to a grinding, error-strewn clash. Australia had most of the early chances and led 14-7 at halftime with three penalty goals from Bernard Foley and Hoopers third-minute try, when he ran into a yawning gap near the quarterline after 10 phases of possession. The Pumas responded quickly to the opening try, taking a 7-5 lead when Manuel Montero swooped on turnover ball and fended off opposite winger Peter Betham, Hooper and Foley on his long, solo run down the left touchline. Foley regained the lead with a penalty goal but the Wallabies wasted chances to go further ahead when Nick Phipps took a quick tap from close range instead of a shot at goal and Foley bombed a try-scoring chance when he took on the defence innstead of passing to unmarked Rob Horne within touching distance of the tryline. Billy Price Bengals Jersey. Tatafu Polata-Naus return to the Wallabies lineup for his 50th test lasted until halftime, with the veteran hooker appearing to struggle with an ankle injury before being replaced. Hooper scored again four minutes into the second half after sustained pressure from Australia and the kickers traded penalties to make it 24-13 before Phipps slid through an opening on the fringe of a breakdown near halfway and floated a pass to Betham, who crashed over in the right corner to extend the lead to 16 points. But just when Australia appeared to be coasting to victory, Argentina hit back hard. The Pumas took a quick free kick in the 64th and caught the Australian defence on the back foot, with Bosch scoring out wide. Argentina pounced again in the 71st after the Wallabies turned over the ball on their own tryline. Flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez kicked a grubber in behind the defence and fullback Tuculet dived on the ball in-goal to narrow the gap to four points. Sanchez narrowly missed the conversion -- hitting the right post -- and Foley landed a penalty at the other end to make it a converted-try difference. Then Argentina blew a chance when replacement scrumhalf Tomas Cubelli knocked-on at the back of an attacking ruck with five minutes remaining. Right at the end, the Pumas earned a penalty and opted for a scrum close to Australiias line, hoping for a push-over or a penalty try, but the resulting free kick ended the rally. "Were happy with the last 20 minutes we had, but were not happy with the game," Argentina captain Agustin Creevy said. "We spent most of the time on defence and that made us tired toward the end. Only in the last 20 minutes could we make our game -- we were close to getting a draw." It was a frustrating night for the Australians, who dominated possession and won the rucks and mauls 88-52, but lost too much ball in contact situations with 14 turnovers -- three more than the Pumas, who have yet to register a win in this years tournament.
