Thundering Herd, Colonels do battle in Huntington
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall and Eastern Kentucky have signed an agreement to play on Saturday, September 5 in Joan C. Edwards Stadium, the two schools announced Tuesday.
Six of Marshall's 10 games will now be played in Huntington this season.
The Thundering Herd holds the all-time series lead 11-8-1, including a 32-16 victory in 2018.
The Colonels will be led by first-year coach Walt Wells, who was announced as EKU's head coach on December 9, 2019. The team went 7-5 last season, including a 5-3 mark in the Ohio Valley Conference.
"We're happy to get that sixth home date on the schedule," said Marshall Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick. "Our players, coaches and staff are looking forward to hitting the Joan C. Edwards Stadium turf on September 5 to get the 2020 season underway."
The athletics department has been in regular contact with university, local and state officials to develop guidelines and procedures for fan attendance at its 2020 home games. Further information on that front will be communicated as it comes available.
