HUNTINGTON – Behind a stingy defense, good special teams and enough offense to win, Marshall’s Thundering Herd improved to 10-3 on the season – the only G5 and one of 7 FBS schools to have double digit wins three years in a row – by knocking off the Huskies of UConn in the St. Petersburg Bowl on Satuday, Dec. 26, at Tropicana Field in Tampa.
The Herd also improves to 10-3 all-time in bowls, the best winning percentage in the nation (.761, with at least five bowls played) and topping Utah of the Pac-12 who is 15-5 (.
