The Marshall Thundering Herd (1-0) square off against the East Carolina Pirates (0-1) on Saturday, September 9, 2023, at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Marshall struggled as a big favorite and barely won last week.
East Carolina lost 30-3 to Michigan in their only game so far.

We think Marshall will hear a lot of noise about how they took Albany lightly, and they will come out and play very well here, and we like the Thundering Herd to roll on Saturday vs an EC who was beat up physically against Mich last week.
