Some of the brightest offensive stars have displayed their talents in the first nine years of the GMAC Bowl. Incredibly productive quarterbacks like Jordan Palmer (UTEP), Dave Ragone (Louisville), Stefan LeFors (Louisville) and David Garrard (East Carolina) have squared off against the likes of Brce Gradkowski (Toledo), Ben Roethlisberger (Miami-Ohio) and Byron Leftwich (Marshall) in the game. Running backs like TCU's LaDainian Tomlinson and DeAngelo Williams of Memphis have raced down the field at Ladd-Peebles Stadium...East Carolina and Marshall battled in the highest-scoring bowl game in NCAA history in the third annual GMAC Bowl in 2001. No. 25 Marshall rallied from a 38-8 halftime deficit to post a 64-61 win in double-overtime. The teams combined for 1,141 total yards...Last year, Tulsa set an NCAA record for largest victory margin in a bowl game with its 63-7 victory over Bowling Green.
