Folks, we’ve got a game at Michigan
Nathan Parseghian’s second field goal of the game, a 23-yard boot with 6:36 left in the third quarter, has pulled the Miami RedHawks to within four points of the Michigan Wolverines, 10-6, Saturday afternoon at Michigan Stadium.
The Wolverines have not scored since the first seven minutes of the first quarter. Miami has shut down the pass, forcing the Wolverines into an almost exclusive running game, which is sputtering.
But Miami’s offense continues to make key mistakes, including three dropped passes.
The RedHawks converted three third-down plays on its most recent drive, but it stalled at the Michigan 6-yard line when Chris Givens was unable to hold onto a pass in the corner of the end zone.

Richardson’s foot helps keep Miami close
By Pete Conrad
Michigan leads Miami 10-0 late in the second quarter at Michigan Stadium.
Part of the reason the Wolverines have not been able to pull away has been the punting of Miami senior Jake Richardson.
The Reily Township native has launched punts of 67, 55, 53 and a career-long 74 yards.
Nathan Parseghian hit a 27-yard field goal with 3:58 left in the half to put Miami on the board. Quarterback Daniel Raudabaugh has struggled again. He has fumbled twice, losing one, but his 42-yard pass to Dustin Woods to the Michigan 9-yard line put Miami in a position to score.
That play marked the first time all day Miami had been in Michigan teritory.

Bad beginning in Ann Arbor
By Pete Conrad
Not a good start for the Miami RedHawks in their fourth visit to the University of Michigan’s “Big House.”
The RedHawks had a third-and-1 and tailback Thomas Merriweather was smothered at the line of scrimmage.
Following a beautiful punt by Jake Richardson, who drilled it high and long, 56 yards, quarterback Steven Threet hit Martavious Odoms with a short swing pass. Odoms broke up the middle and would not go down. Not, anyway, until he had gained 50 yards.
Four plays later from the Miami 9-yard line, Threet did a little fake hand-off and then took off up the middle. Nobody was within 5 yards of Threet when he crossed the goal line. Michigan 7, Miami 0 with 10:48 left in the first quarter.
On Miami’s next possession quarterback Dan Raudabaugh fumbled and Michigan recovered at the RedHawks’ 35. With 8:53 left in the period K.C. Lopata’s 47-yard field goal made it 10-0.
The RedHawks are looking a little dazed and confused. They’d better get un-dazed and un-confused in a hurry or it’s going to be a long day for Miami.
