From bad to worse for RedHawks

By Pete Conrad | Saturday, October 4, 2008, 05:21 PM

By Pete Conrad

This has been without doubt the worst first-half showing for a Miami RedHawks offense (complete the end to this sentence with one of the following):

A. this season.

B. in the last five years.

C. in the history of Yager Stadium.

D. ever.

E. All of the above.

I’m leaning toward “E” though I might have to do some more research.

At halftime Temple leads Miami 14-0 in the RedHawks’ Mid-American Conference opener, and it could be much worse.

Miami’s nine possessions resulted in 102 total yards. I’m sure there have been worse first-half stats for Miami. Still, although Temple has a good defense, this isn’t the Oklahoma Sooners the RedHawks are facing today.

Miami quarterback Daniel Raudabaugh is 8-for-18 passing for 65 yards, and that’s only after he completed his last four passes of the half.

The RedHawks have been looking for consistency on offense. They’ve found it.
