The Marshall University Thundering Herd football team is coming off an early bye-week as it prepares to take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers on Saturday.
In its first game of the season, the Herd (1-0) shut out the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, 59-0, in Huntington.
The Herd’s captains for this week are redshirt junior running back Sheldon Evans, redshirt senior offensive lineman Will Ulmer, redshirt junior defensive lineman Koby Cumberlander and redshirt senior linebacker Tavante Beckett.
“App State is a tremendous team,” Marshall head football coach Doc Holliday said. “It starts at the quarterback position. You just see a talented football team that is extremely well coached.
