Now as a nationally ranked team, the No. 25 Marshall University Thundering Herd will face yet another early bye-week due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This is the second bye-week for Marshall.
The Herd (2-0) is coming off a huge upset victory over the previously nationally ranked No. 23 Appalachian State University Mountaineers this past Saturday, 17-7.
“We had to be the best team on the field in all three phases,” Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said. “We’re doing our best trying to keep our guys fresh and we’ll start to work that plan and keep our guys going in the right direction.
