30-24 win
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) --- Carlos Del Rio-Wilson accounted for 249 yards and two
touchdowns and Marshall held off Missouri State for a 30-24 win on Saturday
night.
Missouri State rallied from a 24-10 deficit to get the score to its final
margin. After the Bears' 11-play, 86-yard drive that lasted three minutes,

The Thundering Herd (2-1) scored points in their first three drives and never
trailed.
Del Rio-Wilson threw a 39-yard scoring pass to TJ Lester for the first score on
Marshall's first possession.
Marshall's second drive ended with 2:25 left in the first quarter when Jo'Shon
Barbie crashed in from a yard out for a 14-3 lead.
The Bears closed to 14-10 when Locklear threw a 38-yard touchdown to Witt
Edwards to close the first quarter. Following a Marshall field goal near the
midway point of the third, the Thundering Herd made it a two-touchdown lead
when Del Rio-Wilson ran it in from the 6 just after halftime.
Missouri State reduced the deficit to 24-17 when Breezy Dubar ran it in from
the 1 a few minutes later.
Del Rio-Wilson threw for 176 yards with a touchdown and ran for 73 yards and a
score.
Locklear threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns. Isaiah Myers caught seven
passes for 141 yards.
