DENTON, Texas — Marshall went to Texas, and left with still just one win all-time in the Lone Star State as North Texas picked up its first win over the Thundering Herd in three meetings back to 1988 with a 38-21 win at Apogee Stadium.
It was the fourth loss in a row for Marshall, and that is the worst start for a Doc Holliday coached Marshall team since his first season when Marshall lost 6-of-7 to open the season (three losses, a win over Ohio, then three losses in Conference USA games to go 0-3 in league play).
