Marshall isn't treating Saturday like a paycheck game. The Thundering Herd visit No. 5 Georgia convinced they can push -- and maybe even shock -- the Bulldogs. That belief is the theme leading up to the 2025 season opener. Marshall senior cornerback Marvae Myers pointed to the last time the programs met in 2004, when Georgia persevered, 13-3.
"We've got history with Georgia," Myers said . "I've seen the last game was a pretty close one, something I'm pretty sure they weren't expecting. But we've just been focusing on not making this just a game where we show up. We're going to go out there, show heart and we're coming to win. We're not coming out there just to play. We want to win."
The Thundering Herd showed they can compete with top programs, including wins over AP Top 25 teams
