In a battle meant to solidify and clear blurred lines in the C-USA title picture, the Marshall Thundering Herd silenced all doubt and obliterated Louisiana Tech 31-10 on their senior night in Huntington.
Holding the tiebreakers due to head-to-head victories over both Florida Atlantic and Western Kentucky, Marshall now stakes claim to sole leadership in the Conference USA’s East division, clearing the pathway towards a potential repeat grudge match with the Bulldogs in this year’s conference championship.
More commonly known as the “75” game, tonight marked the commemoration of 49 years passed since the infamous Marshall plane crash that claimed the lives of 75 university athletes, coaches, personnel and boosters.
