Herd quarterback unannounced heading into season opener

Marshall football opens its 2018 season Saturday afternoon at Miami (Ohio), as the Herd competes for its first Conference USA Championship since 2014. Who takes the first snap under-center for the Thundering Herd, however, remains a mystery.

“We’re trying to read everything we can about their team,” Miami head coach Chuck Martin said. “They obviously lost their quarterback last year, who went to the draft and was a really nice player for them.”

A quarterback competition for the starting position has been in place since the start of fall training camp, but it appears Marshall head coach Doc Holliday has yet to make up his mind.
