HATTIESBURG – Marshall’s Darius Passmore made sure the Thundering Herd broke a long road losing streak on Saturday.
Passmore had eight catches for 136 yards and a touchdown, and ran 80 yards for another score to lead Marshall to a 34-27 victory over Southern Mississippi.
The Thundering Herd (3-1, 2-0 Conference USA) broke a nine-game road losing streak, winning away from home for the first time since defeating UAB two years ago.
It was the first win for Marshall over Southern Miss (2-2, 0-1) in four meetings.
“It was a big win for us, and a big step for our program,” Marshall coach Mark Snyder said. “This is a tough place to come in and win. He (Passmore) is a playmaker. He’s dangerous every time he touches the ball.”
Marshall’s Mark Cann was 16 of 25 for 219 yards and two scores.
