Kansas State at Marshall Game Time Set

6/16/2005

ESPN, Inc., announced today that the Kansas State at Marshall football game scheduled for Saturday, September 10, at Joan C. Edwards Stadium will be played at 10:30 a.m. (EDT) to accommodate a national television broadcast by ESPN2.

The contest will mark the first time that a team from the Big 12 Conference will visit Marshall’s Joan C. Edwards Stadium. In the only meeting between the two schools to date, the Thundering Herd defeated the then sixth-ranked Wildcats, 27-20, on September 20, 2003 in Manhattan, Kansas. Marshall’s win that day, broadcast nationally by Fox Sports Net, was the Thundering Herd’s first win ever over an opponent ranked in the Associated Press Poll’s Top 10.

The Thundering Herd will make at least four national television appearances this season. In addition to the Kansas State game, Marshall’s November 8 meeting with Conference USA rival Southern Miss will also be televised by ESPN2. College Sports Television is scheduled to carry the Thundering Herd’s games at UAB (Oct. 15) and UTEP (Oct. 22).
