The participants of the Championship Game were the finalists of the 1993 I-AA Playoffs, which began with a 16-team bracket. [6] The site of the title game, Marshall University Stadium, had been predetermined months earlier. [7]

Youngstown State Penguins

Youngstown State finished their regular season with a 9–2 record. [8] Unseeded in the tournament, the Penguins defeated UCF, top-seed Georgia Southern, and Idaho to reach the final. This was the third appearance, both consecutively and overall, for Youngstown State in a Division I-AA championship game, having won in 1991 and having lost in 1992.

Marshall Thundering Herd

Marshall finished their regular season with an 8–3 record (5–2 in conference). [9] Also unseeded, the Thundering Herd defeated Howard, Delaware, and Troy State to reach the final. This was the fourth appearance overall, and third consecutively, for Marshall in a Division I-AA championship game, having won in 1992 and having lost in 1987 and 1991.

Game summary

The only touchdowns in the game came during Youngstown State's first three plays from scrimmage. [2] After Marshall's game opening kickoff went out of bounds, Youngstown State scored from their own 35-yard-line on two running plays. At the end of Marshall's ensuing possession, the Herd's punter was tackled inside their own 10-yard-line, and Youngstown State scored their second rushing touchdown on the next play. The only scoring throughout the remainder of the game was a field goal by each team, and Youngstown State gave up a safety late in the fourth quarter.
