Wells accounts for 4 TDs as Marshall rolls past NC Central

Grant Wells accounted for four touchdowns, all in the first half, and Marshall defeated North Carolina Central 44-10

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Corey Gammage - Tallies seven receptions Gammage caught seven passes for 70 yards against NC Central on Saturday.

Impact Grant Wells definitely likes to look for Gammage. Through two games he has 14 receptions. It would be nice if he did more with them, but if he keeps getting the ball in his hands big plays will happen.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Talik Keaton - Catches two TDs Keaton caught three passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns against NC Central on Saturday.

Impact Keaton got bang for his buck, though you can't rely on him turning two-thirds of his receptions into scores each week. Keaton and Corey Gammage are vying to be the top receiver in this offense, and while Keaton has made bigger plays, for two weeks in a row Gammage has had the most receptions of any Marshall receiver.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rasheen Ali - Notches receiving TD Ali rushed eight times for 45 yards and caught eight passes for 47 yards and a touchdown against NC Central on Saturday.

Impact Eight receptions from a running back definitely garners attention. So did the four rushing touchdowns Ali had against Navy in Week 1. The back is definitely looking like a big weapon for the Marshall offense thus far.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Knowledge McDaniel - Rushes for TD McDaniel rushed seven times for 67 yards and a touchdown against NC Central on Saturday.

Impact Marshall had five players with between six and eight carries. They spread the ball around in a rout. McDaniel just happened to get the most yards and found the end zone.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Grant Wells - Totals four TDs Wells went 18-for-24 for 208 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception against NC Central on Saturday. He also rushed for a touchdown.

Impact These are solid numbers against an FCS team, but there are concerns about his turnovers. He's thrown as many interceptions as touchdowns this season and had nine interceptions in 2020.
