Buy your plane tickets and book your hotel rooms. For the second time in three years, Miami football is bowl-eligible.
The RedHawks downed Ball State 42-21 at Yager Stadium on Tuesday night to complete their improbable quest to six wins – the requisite number to earn a bowl berth.
To start the season, the RedHawks lost four of their first five games, including their first three. Once they shook off the woeful start, injuries piled up as their tough schedule continued. The team played the majority of its games without senior wideout James Gardner, senior defensive tackle Nate Trawick, senior linebacker Junior McMullen and other usual starters.
