Herd and RedHawks getting back together
HUNTINGTON — Marshall University and Miami (Ohio) are renewing their football rivalry.
Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick announced that Marshall will play a home-and-home series with the RedHawks beginning in the 2013 season.
“We have a great history with Miami and this is a regional non-conference game that is in line with our scheduling philosophy,” Hamrick said. “The close proximity of the two campuses will also allow our fans the chance to easily travel to a road game and this series will renew the Marshall-Miami rivalry.”
The two-game series begins Aug. 31, 2013 with a game in Huntington. Marshall will return the game Aug. 30, 2014 in Oxford, Ohio.
Marshall and Miami have played 41 times and the RedHawks hold a 30-10-1 advantage.
The last meeting was Sept. 29, 2004, with Marshall winning, 33-25, in Huntington.
