HUNTINGTON – Sometimes college football teams have wake-up calls.
On Saturday, however, Marshall’s Thundering Herd went through a shock akin to an ice bucket challenge.
And today, following the 65-38 loss at the hands of Mid-American Conference Akron, the team must face some cold, hard facts.
Certainly, the most dismal offshoot of the lopsided loss is the situation in which the Herd now finds itself. In short, Marshall is staring straight at a 1-3 start to the season.
First, it hosts Louisville at 8 p.m. this coming Saturday. Then it visits resurgent Pittsburgh in the Steel City Oct.
