Know your foe, Marshall: Five Thundering Herd players who could give Notre Dame problems

The Herd put up 55 points last week and only allowed 3

After putting up 55-points and holding opponent Norfolk State to just a field goal, the Thundering Herd obviously opened the season with a bang. Their challenge this week will be much more difficult, as they travel to South Bend and face-off against Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are 0-1, but are heavily favored and should handily defeat Marshall. That doesn’t mean there won’t be some players that give the Irish problems this Saturday and here are five from the Herd that could.

Tale of the Tape: Leading Rushers – Chris Tyree vs. Ethan Payne

Ready to see Chris break out?

Will [autotag]Chris Tyree[/autotag] have more opportunities to run with the ball going forward? For Notre Dame’s sake, it better happen against Marshall because there should be a chance to open things up more than there was against Ohio State. While we still haven’t seen all of what Tyree is capable of, he has nowhere to go but up after the Buckeyes essentially made him a nonfactor. The good news is very little so far has indicated that he is not the answer at running back.

The Herd will counter with Ethan Payne, who already has a couple of touchdowns on the season. He has an opportunity to keep his production going at Notre Dame Stadium, though that won’t be easy. He will have to focus on why he succeeded in his first game while keeping in mind that it won’t all work against a better defense like the Irish’s. Such is the life of a running back.
