Marshall’s been a little tough to figure in 2023, because while the Thundering Herd are 4-0, they’ve had themselves an adventure getting there, making a habit out of falling behind and rallying.
They were behind FCS Albany in their opener 17-7 in the third quarter, trailed ECU 13-10 in the fourth, and this past weekend let Old Dominion get out to a 21-3 advantage by the second quarter. Hey, if you’re gonna start 4-0, why not have some fun* along the way?
(*Put the fans through a lot of stress.)
The Herd rank 63rd in the latest SP+, with a schedule strength that ranks 120th.
