Marshall edges WKU on Rohrwasser kick

HUNTINGTON (AP) — Justin Rohrwasser kicked a 53-yard field goal as time expired and Marshall held off Western Kentucky’s late rally for 26-23 victory on Saturday.

Rohrwasser made two field goals in the second quarter, and his 43-yarder stretched the Thundering Herd’s lead to 23-7 midway through the third. But Western Kentucky (5-3, 4-1 Conference USA) scored on its next three possessions with long drives, capped by Gaej Walker’s 16-yard run that tied the game 23-23 with 6:19 to play.

Marshall (5-3, 3-1) had possession with 1:21 remaining when Isaiah Green began a 10-play, 51-yard drive that set up Rohrwasser’s game-winning kick.
