Marshall University and Louisville Cardinals prepare for an appealing 8 p.m. Motor City Bowl. Chad Pennington leads Marshall with big play potential against Chris Redman and a high scoring Louisville attack. Redman has thrown for over 4,000 yards with 29 touchdowns, while Pennington aims to avenge last year’s Ole Miss loss and deploy a potent passing game.
Marshall running back Doug Chapman, a Chester Virginia native, has pushed the Thundering Herd to an 11-1 season and a Motor City Bowl bid against Louisville. He has 1,184 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, the first Marshall player to exceed 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons, with charges of reliability from coach Bob Pruett. Chapman anticipates increased carries against Louisville led by quarterback Chad Pennington, as Marshall seeks a second straight bowl appearance and a chance to avenge past losses.
Bob Pruett has transformed Marshall as head coach since 1995 posting a 36-4 record in three seasons with a .900 winning percentage the best in Division I. He leads the Thundering Herd in the Motor City Bowl facing Louisville after back to back MAC titles and an undefeated 1996 season.
