The offensive line listens for the play call as the Marshall University football team takes on Ohio State on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024, at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

HUNTINGTON Ƶ MarshallƵs strong start against the Ohio State Buckeyes turned quite a few heads last Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, as the Thundering Herd marched 75 yards down the football field, eating up clock and capping the drive with an Ethan Payne touchdown run.

It was as good a start as the visitors could have asked for against one of college footballƵs bluebloods as the offense earned the chance to make the gameƵs first impression since Marshall lost the opening coin toss.
