Marshall Predicted To Repeat As MAC Champs

Marshall University would become the first school in league history to win four consecutive league championships, according to the preseason media poll (403 votes, including 45 first-place ballots). The Thundering Herd returns only 11 starters, but five of those were first team all-MAC performers in 1999. Marshall has a national best 18-game winning streak and is coming off a 13-0 record and a No. 10 national ranking. Listen to coach Bob Pruett and view returning player highlights by clicking below.
