HUNTINGTON, W. Va. – After a win over defending Conference USA champion Florida Atlantic in its conference opener, Middle Tennessee could almost put itself in the driver's seat of the East Division with a win at Marshall on Friday.
The Thundering Herd (3-1, 1-0) and Blue Raiders (2-2, 1-0) were ranked second and third, respectively, in the Preseason C-USA Media Poll, and both have had solid starts to the 2018 campaign, looking every bit of the league contenders most thought they would be.
"It's going to be a heck of a challenge against a really good football team," MT head coach Rick Stockstill said.
