Marshall (3-2) will host Louisiana (2-3) for their first home Sun Belt Conference game on ESPN2 Wednesday, October 12, at 7:30 p.m.
The season for the Herd started strong as they beat Norfolk State 55-3 and former No. 8 Notre Dame 26-21.
After the historic win in South Bend, Marshall went on the road to Bowling Green as a 17-point favorite and lost a heartbreaker in overtime by a final score of 34-31.
Then Marshall went back on the road against Troy for their first game in conference play and lost a lackluster offensive performance game as the Herd only scored once, which came in the third quarter by a Khalan Laborn 14-yard touchdown run.
