Marshall head coach Tony Gibson sends a message to Georgia

Georgia football is a nearly 40-point favorite over Marshall on Saturday, but that isn't stopping the Thundering Herd from entering this game with a lot of confidence.

Marshall head coach Tony Gibson recently shared a unique mindset his players have going into this game. Georgia fans will likely find the below comment comical, but it's very apparent that Marshall is entering this game believing they can leave Athens with a win on Saturday.

“I say it all the time- A lot of our guys think they can play there. And guess what? We get to go play there. Now they’re not going to be in red and black. They’re going to be in kelly green and white.”

Marshall's players believe they could play at Georgia

Marshall's head coach shared that a lot of his players believe they are good enough to play at Georgia. There may be some truth to this as it would be silly to suggest that none of their players could play at UGA, but there is no chance that a more than a handful could play at a program like Georgia.

If they could actually play at Georgia or a program on the same level as UGA then those schools would have recruited them and they would be playing at those better programs. That however did not happen, but Marshall's players should not be knocked for thinking this way.

At the end of the day they should believe in themselves. Marshall should believe that they belong on the same field as Georgia, because why even schedule this game if they didn't think they can compete and win?

Marshall will have their chance to prove they belong in just a few short days. Georgia more than likely will dominate this game like Vegas suggests, but Marshall will have their chance to prove to the college football world that maybe they are good enough to play at a program like Georgia.
