Marshall’s week three opponent is a team without a win this season, but they have not played like a winless team. East Carolina enters Saturday’s matchup with the Herd, 0-2 with losses to Appalachian State and SEC foe South Carolina. The loss to the Gamecocks this weekend was on a last-second field goal.
“They’re really good,” Marshall head coach Charles Huff said. “This will be the best team that we’ve played thus far in the season, the best overall team.”
Third-year East Carolina head football coach Mike Houston believes there is momentum building despite the two losses.
