Ohio vs Miami-Ohio
(NCAAF) Bobcats (OHI) vs. RedHawks (MOH),
Money Line: -122.00 RedHawks (MOH) (Home)
Result: Loss
Familiar territory for Miami at Ford Field, where Chuck Martin's RedHawks also won the MAC title game a year ago on December 2 vs. Toledo. Moving ahead to Saturday, not sure why this should be any different than the pair of meetings since last season both rather dominated by Miami-O in similar-looking 30-16 and 30-20 scorelines. The matchup at Yager Stadium seven weeks ago on October 19 deceived a bit as the RedHawks were cruising with a 30-6 into the 4th Q before a couple of late decorative TDs from the Bobcats, including a TD in the last six seconds, made the scoreline look more respectable. Vet Miami QB Brett Gabbert tossed 3 TD passes in the game while top RedHawk RB Keyon Mozee ran for 111 yards as the RedHawks were in control almost the entire way. Ohio has not run effectively either of the past two meetings vs. Miami, and the Bobcats gathered momentum mostly vs. the vast bottom of the MAC down the stretch. The Bobcats weren't competitive vs. better Syracuse and Kentucky in pre-league play, while like a year ago, the RedHawks roared down the stretch in the MAC. Play Miami-Ohio on ML (at Detroit)
