Notable Bowl Games:
Marshall first began playing football in 1898. The Thundering Herd football program saw some dark times between 1964 and 1983, as Marshall posted dozens of losing seasons, was kicked out of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) for NCAA violations, and lost nearly its entire team and coaching staff in a 1970 plane crash that required the program to be resurrected from freshmen and athletes from other sports. Marshall would then put together 21 winning seasons under coach Bobby Pruett, along with winning 2 Div I-AA National Titles. The Herd then moved up to Division I-A in 1997. Chad Pennington and Randy Moss led Marshall to a MAC Championship, and the program would win 5 MAC titles in all. Byron Leftwich is another big-time NFL player to play for Marshall in recent years.
The Marshall Thundering Herd plays their home games at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, also known as “the Joan”. The stadium holds more than 38,000 fans and luxury and club seating as well as a high-tech press box. One of only two stadiums in college football named for a woman, Joan C. Edwards Stadium has witnessed some amazing drama as the home field of the Thundering Herd.
