HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Rakeem Cato threw for 341 yards and
four touchdowns to lead Marshall over Memphis 38-28 on Saturday.



Cato capped a 75-yard drive with a 28-yard scoring pass to
Davonte Allen with 7:34 remaining for the Thundering Herd (4-5,
3-2 Conference USA) after three consecutive touchdowns by the
Tigers (1-8, 1-4) had whittled a 31-7 deficit to three points.



With Memphis trailing 31-21, Tom Hornsey's 61-yard pass to Bobby
McCain on a fake punt put the Tigers at the Marshall 4. Jai
Steib fumbled on a rush from the 2, but Jordan Devey was there
to recover and score.



Kevin Grooms' 28-yard run helped the Thundering Herd reach
Memphis territory on their next possession, but the drive
stalled before Cato found Allen for the score on a fourth-and-6
play.



Cato completed 34 of 44 passes, including 22 of 29 in the first
half, and has thrown for 3,290 yards this season.
