After a dominating performance in its season opener, the Marshall Thundering Herd football team will take the field again Saturday against the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs.

Last weekend, the Herd overcame a slow start to cruise past the Miami (Ohio) 52-14, outscoring the RedHawks 38-0 after halftime. The running game picked up 304 yards for the Herd, including 107 yards by sophomore Steward Butler.    Junior quarterback Rakeem Cato threw for 253 yards and five touchdowns in the contest, as well as showing a running threat not shown in previous seasons, picking up 59 yards on the ground. Two of Cato’s touchdown passes went to senior tight end Gator Hoskins.

“He’s got a good feel for the game,” Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said of Hoskins. “He’s very athletic, runs good routes and can find a way to get open.”
