Marshall’s first trip to South Carolina in 20 years is still on. The Thundering Herd just might be rolling into Columbia differently than originally planned.
MU athletic director Mike Hamrick, speaking to The State on Monday afternoon, said his program “will make every effort possible, as long as it’s safe, to get to Columbia to play that football game.”
As of Monday, the Herd is scheduled to fly charter out of Huntington, West Virginia, at 3 p.m. Friday. This comes over 27 hours before Marshall kicks off with the Gamecocks on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
