Fresh off their third-consecutive loss, Marshall University’s football team now turns its attention to the Herd’s first Conference-USA opponent of the season, the University of North Texas Mean Green.
The Herd and the Mean Green have only met two previous times, both games being played in the friendly confines of Huntington, West Virginia and both resulting in Thundering Herd victories. But, these are not your father’s Mean Green. Despite a 2-3 record, North Texas is improved, most notably at the quarterback position, something head coach Doc Holliday is taking notice of.
“North Texas is much different than they were a year ago,” Holliday said.
