Miami Report Card
Temple at Miami
Pass offense
D
Starting quarterback Daniel Raudabaugh in the first quarter was 2-for-9 passing for 13 yards. He did a little better in the second quarter and finished 8-for18 for 65 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Belton replaced him and competed 14-of-22 passes for no touchdowns and one interception in the second half. There was little good to report here. The receivers dropped and fumbled passes, and the line allowed four sacks. Miami’s two most dangerous recievers are Dustin Woods and Eugene Harris and they caught a grand total of one pass for 4 yards.
Run offense
B
Thomas Merriweather looked very good, gaining 133 yards on 26 carries. But Miami’s running game was stopped short on a couple key plays. Disregard the RedHawks’ 2.3-yard average per carry. That includes four sacks totaling a lot of minus yardage.
Pass defense
D
The RedHawks had a B going until Chester Stewart threw those two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Bruce Francis. This is starting to be a problem. Miami has allowed 11 touchdown passes this season and have been facing mostly back-ups.
Run defense
B
Joey Hudson (16 tackles, including 13 solos) and Chris Shula (13 tackles, including eight solos) were outstanding. Overall, Miami limited the Owls to 2.9 yards per carry.
Special teams
B
Nathan Parseghian nailed his one field goal attempt and now is 8-for-9 this season. Jake Richardson averaged 40.4 yards on seven punts, which is a good day for most punters, a mediocre day for him. Jamal Rogers had a 31-yard kickoff return.
Intangibles
F
The RedHawks still seem to be in a daze when the game starts.

The powers that be at “The” Miami University needs to assess the viability of the present football coaching staff. Over the past few years we can safely say….No Coach Hep, No Ben, few wins, No students, No fun!
