Game turns upside down for RedHawks
By Pete Conrad
Turnovers had not been a major problem this season for the Miami RedHawks — until the first half of their game today, Oct. 25, in which the Kent State Golden Flashes have surged to a 31-7 halftime lead behind four touchdown runs by Eugene Jarvis.
The RedHawks, who had led 7-3 after the first quarter, turned the ball over to the Flashes on four straight possessions, and Kent State turned them into 21 unanswered points in the form of three 1-yard touchdown runs by Jarvis.
The turnovers began with an interception thrown by Miami redshirt freshman Clay Belton late in the first quarter. Result: touchdown by Jarvis.
Tailback Andre Bratton lost a fumble at the Miami 26 early in the second quarter. Result: touchdown by Jarvis.
Then Belton threw another interception. KSU didn’t do anything and was forced to punt, but Eugene Harris dropped the punt at the Miami 7-yard line. Result: touchdown by Jarvis.
Kent State added another touchdown in the closing seconds of a half, this time on a 2-yard run by Jarvis.
Before today, the Flashes had not scored 31 points in a game this season.
The game had been scheduled to be televised by Ohio News Network, but the ONN truck had engine problems and was unable to make it to the game.
