SEPTEMBER 7 • Associated Press

Justin Williams-Thomas - Touchdown in loss Williams-Thomas tallied eight rushes for 61 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-20 defeat to Missouri State.

Impact Williams-Thomas punched in his first touchdown on the 2025 season. His second quarter score came on a 37-yard run.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Zion Turner - Only quarterback to play in loss Turner was 13-for-24 passing for 83 yards and one interception during Saturday's 21-20 loss against Missouri State. He also had 11 rushes for 60 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Turner was the most efficient Thundering Herd quarterback in Week 1 and was rewarded with a Week 2 start. Turner ran in for a 14-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The offence dried up in the second half, only being able to produce three points. Marshall faces Eastern Kentucky in Week 3.

Missouri State wins first game as FBS program by beating Marshall 21-20

Jacob Clark threw for three touchdowns and 359 yards and led a late drive to send Missouri State past Marshall 21-20 giving the Bears their first win as an FBS program

SEPTEMBER 7 • Associated Press

Shomari Lawrence - Rushes for 49 yards Lawrence ran 17 times for 49 yards against Marshall on Saturday. He also caught three passes for 23 yards.

Impact Missouri State got its first win as an FBS program, but Lawrence didn't play a big role. Averaging 2.9 yards per carry against a Marshall team that got gutted by the transfer portal doesn't wow, and Lawrence is one of the Bears players who was an FBS guy last season. On the other hand, nobody has threatened Lawrence for carries just yet.

Jacob Clark - Throws three TDs, INT Clark went 21-for-31 for 359 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception against Marshall on Saturday. He also ran 15 times for 30 yards.

Impact Congratulations to Clark, who led Missouri State to its first win as an FBS program. He was the Bears' quarterback last season, and he delivered in a big way against an FBS team. Last week against USC was tough, understandably, but Clark did not look in over his head at all in this one.
