The Marshall Thundering Herd were starting to raise some eyebrows within the BCS Playoff Committee in 2014. They were not just beating opponents, but rather trashing them by nearly 30 points a game. The only thing keeping the Thundering Herd out of any sort of high ranking was their lack of schedule.
The Marshall Thundering Herd (3-0) head back on the road to play the Akron Zips (1-1). Make sure you bookmark us at Cappers Picks because we’ll be providing free college football picks all season.
Marshall is 9-15-1 ATS with an O/U record of 10-15 and Florida Atlantic is 12-14 ATS with an O/U record of 12-14. This game I being held at a neutral site in El Paso, Texas.
Marshall was a surprise loser in the Conference USA championship game. They were touchdown favourites but lost by 17 against Rice and now have to bounce back if they want to beat a Maryland team that should be pretty hungry for the first bowl win of the Randy Edsall era.
The Marshall Thundering Herd are no surprise to be in the Conference USA Championship this season. They outdueled East Carolina to get here but find a surprising opponent in Rice.
There is an SEC tilt on Thursday night but this may be the better of the two games to catch that evening. Marshall is the top dog in the Conference USA East division but East Carolina is breathing down their neck.
Head coach Doc Holliday has done a great job of bringing in talent at Marshall, but this is the year the squad needs to turn all that talent into wins.
Marshall went just 5-7 last year, but their explosiveness has led oddsmakers to make them co-favorites in the Conference USA East Division heading into 2013. Rakeem Cato is probably the best player in the entire conference, and he really came into his own during the 2012 season.
Doc Holliday and the Marshall Thundering Herd took a nice step forward in 2011. The Thundering Herd loaded up the schedule and managed to go 6-6 in the regular season and then win in the St. Petersburg Bowl against FIU. Marshal finished 7-6 even though they had to play the 16th toughest schedule in the nation.
You have to credit Marshall for being the sharper team after playing a triple overtime thriller the day before.
Speculation about whether the Southern Miss Golden Eagles really are a tournament team continues as they struggled to beat East Carolina, needing overtime to beat the Pirates in a quarterfinal matchup.
Doc Holliday took over at the beginning of last year, and the Thundering Herd stumbled out of the gates to sit at 1-6 after their first seven games.
