By JACK BOGACZYKHERDZONE.COM COLUMNISTBOCA RATON, Fla. – Happy Holliday!Marshall football had reason to celebrate more than one season here Tuesday night.The Thundering Herd used a 93-yard kick return touchdown by Deandre Reaves to get started, and then really finished off Mid-American Conference champion Northern Illinois, 52-23, in the inaugural Boca Raton Bowl at FAU Stadium.The win, making the Herd (13-1) only the third team in Marshall history with at least 13 victories, came only hours after it was reported that Coach Doc Holliday would be receiving a contract extension with an undisclosed financial sweetening.
