While Marshall’s victory over No.8 Notre Dame in South Bend on Saturday appeared to come out of nowhere, that wasn’t the case for one analyst.
On “College Gameday” before the Saturday slate began, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit foreshadowed Marshall fiving the Fighting Irish a tough time, while the rest of the crew was skeptical that the Thundering Herd would even be in the game.
“Marshall-Notre Dame has that weird September feeling [where] you tune into the third quarter and it’s like, 20-17,” he said. “Marshall can score.”
And, as usual, Herbstreit was right.
