Chad Pennington’s one of the best MAC quarterbacks of all time on one of the best MAC teams of all time. In the 1998 MAC title game against Toledo, Second Team All-MAC linebacker Darrick Beckwith elbowed Pennington right in the cajones, and the Marshall great crawled right off the field. This is back when sportsmanship mattered.
Marshall ended up winning 23-17, and Pennington was the game’s MVP.
