Marshall Football will run onto the field Saturday, Sept. 7, with the echoes of Enter Sandman filtering out of Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia, as they prepare to take on the Virginia Tech Hokies.
The Herd took on the Hokies last season and beat the heavily favored ACC team 24-17 in Huntington. Since that game, the Marshall offense has seen immense change. The Hokies, on the other hand, have several familiar faces returning to the gridiron.
“Offensively, it’s the same team as last year. They improved as the year went on, and the coaches got comfortable with the personnel,” said Thomas Bray, sports editor at Collegiate Times.
