Virginia Tech football: A closer look at the Marshall Thundering Herd

The Virginia Tech Hokies host the Marshall Thundering Herd in Lane Stadium on Saturday in what is a makeup game for both teams. The Hokies had a home game in September with East Carolina that was canceled and reached a deal with Marshall to replace ECU on the schedule, contingent only on the Hokies beating Virginia last week.
