Isaiah Green – Noteworthy
It was a family affair as Marshall ended the season with another bowl victory. Isaiah Green completed 17 of 25 passes for 221 yards, cousin Keion Davis ran for two touchdowns and Marshall beat South Florida 38-20 in the Gasparilla Bowl on Thursday night. “It’s fun to get to play my senior year with my cousin, sharing the experience,” said Davis, who was the game MVP. Marshall, 6-0 in bowl games under head coach Doc Holliday, gained 503 years. The Thundering Herd (9-4) had 282 rushing yards and 221 through the air. “It was my first time contributing to a (bowl) win,” Green said. “It feels good to be able to show people that just because I’m a freshmen doesn’t mean I can’t play this game like I’m not a freshman.” Green also had a touchdown run in the first quarter, while Davis’ second TD — from 16 yards out — put the Thundering Herd ahead 38-20 with 6 1/2 minutes to play. Davis had 94 yards on 14 carries, while Brenden Knox gained 93 yards on 12 rushes — all during the first half. – AP College Football
