Following its season home opening win against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, the Marshall University football team is preparing for its next opponent, Appalachian State.
However, the Herd will have an extra week to prepare as it faces an early bye-week during the second week of the season.
Redshirt senior offensive lineman Cain Madden said that having an early bye-week is new for the team.
It’s definitely new for us,” Madden said. “Playing a game and going straight into a bye-week. It’s good momentum for us. We have time to study film and it will be good for us.
