Belton starts, RedHawks break first-quarter drought

By Pete Conrad

Red-shirt freshman quarterback Clay Belton made his first career start for the Miami University football team Saturday, Oct. 18 at Bowling Green, and he guided the RedHawks to a touchdown on his first possession to give Miami a 7-3 lead with 12:02 left in the first quarter.

The touchdown was Miami’s first of the season that has been scored in the first quarter and the RedHawks’ first points in the first quarter since the season opener. Opponents had scored the last 57 points in the first period.

The drive covered 60 yards and was capped by Andre Bratton’s 6-yard touchdown run. Belton completed one short pass, but much of the yardage came from Thomas Merriweather, who carried five times for 29 yards.
