After three consecutive seasons of 10 or more wins and three bowl victories in as many seasons, one might think Marshall Football would be the perennial front-runner in the Conference USA East Division.
Think again.
The Thundering Herd was selected to finish third in the preseason poll, looking up at Middle Tennessee State and Western Kentucky, both of whom Marshall lost to last season.
So as it appears, the Herd are no longer the hunted, rather the hunter, but head coach Doc Holliday said Tuesday afternoon during his pre-camp press conference that it will continue to be business as usual.
