MAC Game of the Week

No. 12 Marshall 34, Ohio 3
Quarterback Chad Pennington and Marshall's defense made certain the Thundering Herd finished the regular season as one of only three undefeated teams in Division 1-A. Pennington threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns for the Herd (11-0, 8-0 MAC), which ran its winning streak to 15 games, longest in Division I-A. In a steady, cold drizzle, Pennington joined Brigham Young's Ty Detmer and Louisville's Chris Redman as the only major-college quarterbacks to surpass 1,000 career completions.

Friday's game meant little in the standings for the Thundering Herd, who had already clinched the MAC's East Division and a spot in next week's championship game against Western Michigan in Huntington.
