HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — It was billed as the biggest game at Joan C. Edwards Stadium since the days when Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich ran the offense, and Marshall lived up to the hype

The Thundering Herd put together a dominant 59-28 win over East Carolina to win the Conference USA East Division.

Marshall will meet the West Division winner in the C-USA title game on Dec. 7. Three teams—Rice, Tulane and UT-San Antonio—enter Saturday with a chance at the West crown.

Both Marshall (9-3, 7-1) and East Carolina (9-3, 6-2) came into their game almost mirror images of each other, but Marshall shattered that mirror by running up 539 yards of offense and forcing three ECU interceptions, returning one for a touchdown.
