Kickoff Night Marshall Connections

As you already know the college football season kicks off tonight. Although Marshall is not playing until Saturday the Herd does have a few connections with today’s games. Herd opponent Bowling Green welcomes Troy to Doyt Perry Stadium for an out of conference tilt. It will be Dave Clawson first game as Bowling Green’s head coach. In 2008 Clawson was the offensive coordinator at Tennessee but he brings head coaching experience from previous stints at Fordham and Richmond.

Also in the Mid-American Conference Stan Parrish and the Ball State Cardinals host North Texas. Parrish coached Marshall to our first winning season (1984) since the plane crash . This will be Parrish’s second game as head coach after Brady Hoke left for San Diego State before Ball State’s GMAC bowl appearance against Tulsa.
