Record: 7-4, 5-2 C-USA
Coach: Rick Minter (seventh season, 34-43-1)
Key players: WR Antonio Chatman (1,257 all-purpose yards), LB
Troy
Evans (105 tackles), K Jonathon Ruffin (26-of-29 FGs)
Season summary: The Bearcats had shown flashes of greatness
in the past,
including last year's upset of Wisconsin, but finally put it all
together in 2000. Athletic QB
Deontey Kenner didn't have his best year statistically but didn't have
to because of the
players around him, like all-conference RB Ray Jackson and Chatman. The
defense
played especially well during league play, led not only by Evans but
veterans like DT
Mario Monds and safety DeJuan Gossett.

Record: 7-5, 6-3 MAC
Coach: Bob Pruett (fifth season, 57-9)
Key players: QB Byron Leftwich (3,358 yards, 21 TDs), WR Nate
Poole (70 catches, 818 yards), LB Max Yates (111 tackles)
Season summary: It was a "rebuilding year" for the Herd,
considering their recent dominance, and yet Marshall still won its
fourth consecutive MAC championship. Leftwich emerged as a capable
replacement for Chad Pennington. The problem for much of the early
season was defense, especially in blowout losses to Toledo and Western
Michigan, but it came around in time for the Broncos rematch.
