This is the second week in a row that the Marshall University football team has a bye-week. This is due to the coronavirus and its constant changes, cancelations and postponements of games in college football.
Originally, the Herd was supposed to face the Rice University Owls to kickoff Conference USA action on Saturday, Oct. 3. However, Rice had to postpone the start of its 2020 season due to coronavirus cases.
Marshall defensive coordinator and safeties coach Brad Lambert said these aren’t normal times, but it’s important to keep working hard.
“It’s just not normal. Normally, you have a date off and then you go back to work,” Lambert said.
