HUNTINGTON — The sample size is small and not necessarily representative, but Marshall’s defense is clearly ahead of the offense.
That was the reverse of what it was in 2013-15, when the Thundering Herd won 33 games. Or was it?
Not exactly, says Herd coach Doc Holliday.
“If you look at it, three years prior to last year, we were No. 1 in total defense,” he said. “We were good in the other phases, too. The year before last, we won 10 games — we weren’t great offensively but we were No. 1 in total defense in the conference.
