Momentum swings help, then hurt RedHawks
By Pete Conrad
At first, it looked like the key play of the third quarter, maybe the key play of the game.
Miami had pulled to within four points of Cincinnati when Daniel Raudabaugh completed his second touchdown pass of the night at Nippert Stadium, this one a 34-yard toss to Chris Givens, to pull the RedHawks to within four points of the Bearcats, 24-20.
And then seconds later, a gutsy move by the RedHawks. An on-sides kick. And it was recovered by Miami’s DeAndre Gilmore at the UC 46-yard line. The momentum had changed, it seemed. The RedHawks were destined to surge ahead, it seemed. This was to be their night, it seemed.
But there is something about the Bearcats’ defensive secondary. It’s pretty good. Mike Mickens intercepted a Raudabaugh pass and raced 72 yards for a touchdown.
Late in the quarter Ben Guidugli caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Tony Pike. Earsly in the fourth quarter the Bearcats lead 38-20. The on-sides kick doesn’t seem so big now.
By the way, an oddity. After three quarters, both Raudabaugh and Pike had passed for 199 yards.
