HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The Marshall defense made waves last season with a whiplash-inducing turnaround.

What was one of the worst units in college football became one of the best between the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

So far, the 2014 version is even better.

Entering Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. game against Florida Atlantic at Joan C. Edwards Stadium (Fox Sports 1), the 23rd-ranked Thundering Herd’s defensive numbers eclipse last season’s, when Marshall vaulted from the bottom of the rankings to near the top. The defensive players said their climb even higher is a matter of trust.
