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.
