Herd football, Middle Tennessee to battle under Friday night lights

Marshall University football (3-1, 1-0 C-USA) returns to Joan C. Edwards Stadium Friday for its 7:30 p.m. matchup against Middle Tennessee State University (2-2, 1-0 C-USA).

“They’re an excellent team, and they are well coached,” Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said. “They will come in here ready to play, and we have to make sure we have a great week of preparation.”

Marshall and MTSU have met seven times, and Marshall has a 5-2 record in the series. Since joining Conference USA in 2013, the Blue Raiders are 2-3 against Marshall but are winless in Huntington.

The Blue Raiders’ offense has a record-breaking quarterback in redshirt senior Brent Stockstill.
