HARRISONBURG, Va. Ƶ With a berth in the Sun Belt Conference football championship game on the line, Marshall pulled out all the stops.

A fake field-goal attempt set up the game-tying touchdown late in the fourth quarter and ultimately forced overtime. Then, after trading field goals in the first extra period, the Thundering Herd stopped James MadisonƵs two-point conversion in the second overtime period, tied the game on an end-around rush by Tychaun Chapman and won it on a pass from Braylon Braxton to Chuck Montgomery.
