The first week of college football season is always action-packed, but the opening week of the 2016 season has provided more surprises than fans and players had expected, especially with the outcomes of a handful of Conference-USA games.
Pundits all expected that the conference would be improved this season, but after Southern Miss knocked off SEC school Kentucky on Saturday and Louisiana Tech came within inches of beating Arkansas, another SEC school, plenty of heads were turned, including those in the Marshall football program.
“I think Conference-USA is a little bit overlooked, as far as the talent,” said senior tight end Ryan Yurachek.
