Former Conference Opponents

There are a couple of games in Week 1 between former conference opponents that I will be following:  Miami (Ohio) at Marshall and New Mexico State at Arizona State.  I admit that they aren't very exciting matchups in the big scheme of things, but they do have some history...

The Red Hawks dominated Marshall in their MAC days (lead overall series 30-12-1), but Marshall has won 8 of the last 9 matchups since 1998.  Meanwhile, New Mexico State and Arizona State are former Border Conference opponents from 1931-1961, and they have played only twice since 1963.  The Sun Devils lead the series 21-7-1, and they have won 18 of 20 against the Aggies since 1939.
