The No. 16 Marshall University Thundering Herd football team returned back to Huntington, West Virginia to face the University of Massachusetts Minutemen at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, where the Herd won 51-10.
The Herd improved to 6-0 (3-0 Conference USA) while the Minutemen fell to 0-2 on the season.
Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said the team did not come out strong in the first half but did during the second half to secure the win.
“If you don’t have a mature football team, if you go out there and sleepwalk, you can go out there and have trouble with teams like that,” Holliday said.
