The Marshall Thundering Herd will take to the road Thursday after a short week when it travels to Tulsa, Okla., to take on the reigning Conference USA champion Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The game falls on the 43rd anniversary of the Marshall plane crash disaster and also finds a Herd team that is bowl eligible and in the hunt for the C-USA championship.

“Now we have that out of the way,” junior center Chris Jasperse said of bowl eligibility. “We don’t have to wait until the last game of the year to become bowl eligible like we did a couple years ago, so no one’s thinking about that anymore and we’re focused on the conference championship.”

While the Herd is having its best season as a member of C-USA, the Golden Hurricane is having one of its worst, standing at 2-7 overall and just 1-4 in C-USA play after finishing last season 11-3 with a 7-1 conference mark.
