After a 10-year championship drought, the Marshall University Thundering Herd won its first Sun Belt Championship title against the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns football on Saturday, Dec. 7.
With only two years in the Sun Belt Conference, the Herd’s win produced the first road win in Sun Belt football history and the largest margin of victory for an SBC title game.
“I could not be prouder of a group of guys,” head coach Charles Huff said. “I’m so appreciative of their buy-in, and it helps me understand that the process works. This is a huge moment for Marshall University, and I’m appreciative to be the leader that got us to this point.
