MARSHALL PREVIEW

For a team that was projected to finish fourth in the East division in the C-USA media poll, it’s fair to say that the Marshall Thundering Herd have exceeded the expectation for consistency. Playing for the first time in nearly a month in the Moonshine Throwdown last weekend, the Thundering Herd defense held its third straight opponent to less than 100 rushing yards, pressing the gas early before closing the door on a 38-14 victory.
