Notre Dame vs Marshall Game Preview

Why Marshall Will Win

The Thundering Herd did what they were supposed to do in a tune-up opener, taking down Norfolk State 55-3.

Of course it was supposed to be an easy game, but it was the work the team got in that’s going to matter here.

What’s Going To Happen

This week, the running game will work.

The Irish offensive line will take over early, Tyler Buchner will have a nice game, and the team will sidestep this dangerous landmine on the way to the date with Cal.
