Miami playing ball control

By Pete Conrad | Saturday, September 20, 2008, 08:26 PM

By Pete Conrad

The Miami RedHawks are hanging with the Cincinnati Bearcats at Nipper Stadium by dominating one statistic.

Time of possession.

Although the RedHawks fell behind 17-3 when Tony Pike threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Mardy Gilyard with 11:27 left in the second quarter, Miami responded with a 13-play, 71-yard touchdown drive capped by Daniel Raudabaugh’s 10-yard strike to Armand Robinson.

It was the second straight long drive for the RedHawks, who had driven 76 yards on 14 plays to give themselves a first-and-goal from the UC 1-yard line, only to be stopped on three straight plays and have to settle for a Nathan Parseghian field goal.

After Raudabaugh’s touchdown pass, Miami held the advantage in time of possession 15:56 to 7:38.

With 3:12 left in the first half the Bearcats are clinging to a 17-14 lead.
