Appalachian State
Appalachian State is likely the Herd’s most anticipated opponent in all of the Sun Belt. For the past two years, Marshall has competed against the Mountaineers in games that made national headlines due to the animosity that the two fanbases have shared. For Marshall, App State was a win in 2020 that fueled the fire for being a ranked team for the large majority of the season. For App State, 2021 was a revenge game, defeating the Herd with a powerful run game in Head Coach Charles Huff’s first season as the leader for the Thundering Herd.
