Marshall Thundering Herd

The Marshall Thundering Herd are heading to Virginia after a strong win against Stony Brook last Saturday. They started their season with a victory at their home opener and demonstrated strength in all aspects of their team. Last week, Marshall played three quarterbacks to gain practice as they had a lead going into the fourth quarter. The quarterbacks combined for 290 passing yards and five touchdowns, with Braylon Braxton standing out with 141 yards and two touchdowns. Last season, Marshall did not stand out statistically, except for their passing defense which ranked 56th in the league. The team's win against Stony Brook may have been exaggerated, as the opponents had a low average of points per game last year. A.J. Turner showed promise with a strong run game, and he may be a key player for Marshall against Virginia Tech, who had a strong defense last season. Marshall is currently ranked #100 in offense and defense with a 0-0 record this season.
