Mavericks Travel to Marshall to Take on Mustangs in Nonconference Game
Mavericks Look to Continue Strong Start in Nonconference Play
The Mavericks will travel to Marshall, Texas, on Saturday to take on the Mustangs in a nonconference game. The Mavericks are coming off a 3-0 start to the season, while the Mustangs are 1-2.
The Mavericks have been led by the play of quarterback Preston Stone, who has thrown for 600 yards and six touchdowns in the first three games. Running back Daylen Baldwin has also been a key contributor, rushing for 300 yards and three touchdowns.
Mustangs Look to Rebound After Tough Start
The Mustangs have had a tough start to the season, losing their first two games before beating FCS opponent South Dakota State last week. The Mustangs are led by quarterback Henry Colombi, who has thrown for 500 yards and four touchdowns in three games. Running back Rasheen Ali has also been a bright spot, rushing for 200 yards and two touchdowns.
The Mustangs will be looking to rebound from their tough start and get their first win over a FBS opponent this season.
Game Preview
The Mavericks and Mustangs will square off at Maverick Stadium in Marshall, Texas, on Saturday at 6 p.m. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
The Mavericks are a 7-point favorite over the Mustangs, according to VegasInsider.com.
Prediction
The Mavericks are the more talented team and should be able to win this game. The Mustangs have had a tough start to the season, and I don't think they will be able to match up with the Mavericks' firepower.
I predict the Mavericks will win the game 35-20.
