Marshall football (6-3, 3-2) looks to bounce back this Saturday at the Joan C. Edwards Stadium where they will take on Western Kentucky University (5-4, 3-2). This week marks the anniversary of the young Thundering Herd tragedy.
“They understand the importance of this game and what it means, not only to our football program now, but our community and our fan base,” head coach Doc Holliday said. “We start it in the summer. Keith (Morehouse) does a great job explaining the importance of it, and that’s where it starts and it continues throughout their careers.”
Although the Marshall football team will be playing for a greater cause, representing the 75, Holliday said this is an important game for the team to continue their campaign toward a Conference USA championship.
