Miami (OH) travels south of the border for a Week 1 showdown in SEC country. If it seems like a long time since the RedHawks pulled out a victory in a game like this, the numbers certainly agree. Last December when Miami won the Frisco Football Classic over North Texas, it snapped its 31-game losing streak to FBS non-conference opponents dating back to 2011. The RedHawks look to carry the residue from that victory into Lexington with a veteran coach in Chuck Martin and the MAC’s premier quarterback in Brett Gabbert.
