Miami takes the lead, briefly
By Pete Conrad
News flash! For the second time this season the Miami University football team has taken the lead.
Joe Coniglio’s interception return to the Charleston Northern 1-yard line led to Thomas Merriweather’s 1-yard touchdown plunge with 14:09 left in the third quarter and a 17-13 lead by the RedHawks.
It was the first interception of Coniglio’s Miami career. He was pulled down less than a yard away from the end zone, which is a not-unknown area for Coniglio. As a fullback in high school he scored 42 touchdowns over two seasons.
Miami’s only other lead this season came in the opener at home against Vanderbilt when Nathan Parseghian’s 37-yard field goal in the first quarter gave the RedHawks a 3-0 advantage. Vandy went on to score the next 17 points.
Like the first lead, Miami’s second lead didn’t last long. The Buccaneers answered with Tribble Reese’s third touchdown pass of the day (perhaps one of Reese’s grandparents was a Trekkie) to regain the lead 20-17 with 10:51 left in the third period.
