Week 2 of college football is up next and we’ve finally got some relevant (somewhat), current data to inform the analysis going into this weekend’s matchup. The Irish will be playing their home opener against Marshall on Saturday afternoon.
This game will mark the first time that ND’s football program meets up with the Marshall Thundering Herd. Throughout Marshall’s full history, it has forty-six seasons of NCAAF under its belt. The West Virginia based team had its inaugural season in 1962 and through 2022 it has an overall win percentage of 47%.
Marshall’s 2021 campaign didn’t contain a lot to write home about.
