Marshall Thundering Herd at Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders Overview
The Herd step in off a huge win against Old Dominion, last Saturday. Marshall took advantage of a nicked-up Monarchs team and defeat ODU by a score of 35-3. On the year, the Herd have just one loss which came on the road at a top-25 ranked NC State team in Raleigh. Marshall have won four in a row since that defeat in September.
For Middle Tennessee State, this has to be classed as a disappointing season so far. The Blue Raiders were classed by many to be a potential dark horse for the Conference USA but have not lived up to the billing in 2017. The Raiders own two nasty blowout losses against Minnesota and Vanderbilt and two defeats against football teams they were predicted to beat in the pre-season in UAB and FAU.
