Marshall, Nwachi Power Maine Past Merrimack 20-13, Securing First 3-Game Win Streak Under Stevens

The road win in North Andover moved both teams to 3-4, handing Merrimack its first home loss.

Wilson footballs are lined up on the field prior to the game between the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers and the South Carolina Gamecocks at Williams-Brice Stadium on September 1, 2018 in Columbia, South Carolina. SC won 49-15.

Overview

  • Cornerback Vincent Nwachi recorded two takeaways, including a late fumble recovery that ignited the nine-play, 62-yard go-ahead drive.
  • Carter Peevy finished the decisive series with a 1-yard touchdown run at 6:49 remaining after Rashawn Marshall gained 35 yards on four carries and a 21-yard pass to Scott Woods set up first-and-goal.
  • Merrimack executed a fake punt on a 25-yard run by Mike Ryan, then lost a fumble on the next play to flip field position.
  • Maine downed the ball at the Merrimack 1 with 1:46 left and sealed the win on a late interception by free safety Devin Vaught.
  • Marshall rushed for 148 yards, while Peevy went 12-of-25 for 159 yards passing as Maine extended its streak to three; Maine has a bye before hosting Elon on Oct. 25, and Merrimack visits Harvard next Saturday.
