After falling to number-three Louisville last week in a lopsided affair, Marshall nowfaces yet another tough test against their second straight Atlantic Coastal Conference opponent, the Pittsburgh Panthers.
Marshall enters Saturday’s showdown in the midst of their first two-game losing streak since the 2013-2014 season, which saw them lose back-to-back games to Ohio University and Virginia Tech. Despite the Herd falling below .500 early in the season, head coach Doc Holliday says his team isn’t focused on their record.
“It’ll be a great challenge for us,” Holliday said. “To go on the road for the first time, it’s important … Pitt’s an extremely tough football team so we have to make sure we take our toughness and our leadership on the road, that’s what you have to do.
