HUNTINGTON — For the second week in a row, Marshall faces off against a head coach who is a former Thundering Herd assistant.
Last week, it was Charlotte’s Brad Lambert, who worked through the Jim Donnan era (1990-95). This week, it’s Southern Mississippi’s Jay Hopson, who served for Bob Pruett (1996-2000).
That perfectly frames MU’s “The Decade, The Dynasty.” But as the coaching world turns, the Thundering Herd is in danger of going 0-2 against them.
Following its 24-21 home loss to Charlotte, the Herd (2-5 overall, 1-2 Conference USA) must face Hopson’s Golden Eagles (4-3, 2-1) at M.
