This Week in the NCAA: The Unbeaten Thundering Herd

10/17/2014

This Week in the NCAA 2014Entering this weekend’s action, there are six unbeaten teams at the FBS level – five of which occupy the top spots of the AP Top 25 – Mississippi State, Florida State, Ole Miss, Baylor and Notre Dame. While all eyes will focus on the back Saturday night matchup between the Seminoles and the Irish, we take a moment this week to spotlight the sixth unbeaten team: the Thundering Herd of Marshall University.

The Herd checked into the Top 25 this week for the first time in more than a decade and are led by star quarterback Rakeem Cato, who some consider a darkhorse Heisman candidate.

Kevin Kugler has more on This Week in the NCAA, plus details on the generous gift Steve Kerr recently bestowed upon his alma mater, the University of Arizona.
