Marshall announces it will play South Carolina in 2018
Marshall University’s official website has announced that it will play at South Carolina Sept. 15, 2018.
“We’re excited to play an SEC school, especially one that is in a fertile recruiting ground for our program and within driving distance for our fans,” said athletic director Mike Hamrick. “We had an opportunity to play a game of this caliber in 2018 and it was too good to pass up.”
The school says it will receive a $1.4 million guarantee for the game, the largest in school history.
Marshall and South Carolina have only met one other time in 1998, with the Thundering Herd winning 24-21.
Marshall currently competes in Conference USA.
