The Thundering Herd defeated the Miami RedHawks Saturday during their first home matchup at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, with a score of 31-26.
The Herd’s offense proved superior throughout the game, set in motion by junior running back Keion Davis’s 99-yard return touchdown near the beginning of the game. Davis followed up his first touchdown with a 97-yard return in the second quarter.
“I just do what they brought me here to do,” Davis said. “Be an athlete.”
A major turning point in the game came when sophomore defensive back Chris Jackson took back a 72-yard interception propelling the score to 28-13 late in the third quarter.
