Football has returned for the Marshall University Thundering Herd as it prepares to take on the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers Saturday, Oct. 10.
It has been three weeks since the Herd (2-0, 0-0 Conference USA) has played in a game, but the team has taken the bye-weeks as a learning experience and advantage to focus on game plans and to get better.
All eyes are on the Hilltoppers (1-2, 1-0 C-USA) as this is one of the biggest rivalries in Conference USA.
The Hilltoppers are entering the contest after defeating conference foe Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders, 20-17.
