Taylor leads RedHawks to 27-20 win

By Pete Conrad

True freshman tailback J.R. Taylor scored on a 5-yard touchdown run with 2:35 left in the fourth quarter to lift the Miami RedHawks to a 27-20 victory over the Bowling Green Falcons Saturday, Oct. 18 at Doyt Stadium.

The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the RedHawks.

Taylor rushed six times for 70 yards on Miami’s game-winning drive, which covered 75 yards on nine plays. The last six plays of the drive were runs by Taylor, who finished the game with more than 100 yards on the ground.

Taylor saw increased playing time after sophomore Thomas Merriweather was injured in the first quarter.

Bowling Green had moved to the Miami 26-yard on the previous possession, but Miami senior defensive back Robbie Wilson tipped and intercepted a pass at the RedHawks’ 5-yard line and returned it to the 25 with 7:29 to go to set up Miami’s touchdown drive.
