The Miami RedHawks only needed the first half to beat Kent State on Saturday. The second half at Yager Stadium was just dessert.
Miami’s offense powered its way to season-highs in total yards (504) and rushing yards (295), while the defense allowed just six points to beat the Golden Flashes 31-6.
“Obviously, we felt like we had to move the ball and score points,” head coach Chuck Martin said. “Our offense did that. They key, though, was that we ran the ball.”
The final score is slightly misleading to how the game started. The RedHawks (3-4, 3-1 Mid-American) led in nearly every statistical category in the first quarter, but neither team pulled ahead as it ended with a 0-0 tie.
