The season will begin in the Horseshoe at Ohio State on Sept 2nd for Marshall
. In-state rival West Virginia is the Week 2 opponent. Doc Holliday spent the past two seasons as associate head coach for the Mountaineers. The "Battle for the Bell" vs. Ohio goes down on Sept 25 th and will be a rematch of the 2009 Little Caesars Pizza bowl. They draw SMU and UTEP out of the West division. Their conference opener on Oct 2nd could set the tone for the rest of the season when they travel to Southern Miss. I like this team as a sleeper and believe they finish 7-5.
