Aside from MAC-undefeated Western Michigan, Miami has become one of the hotter teams in the MAC. Winners of three straight, the RedHawks have made themselves relevant again in the battle for a MAC title game berth. For now, each of those three wins were huge. They helped MU regain control of its own destiny. If, however, MU loses Tuesday, the value of those three victories drops to ... well, A LOT less. Why? Because even one more MAC loss for Miami could knock the RedHawks out of contention. While the defending MAC champs may be gaining some notice, their opponent on Tuesday has been flying under the radar while proving to be a very tough out. Ball State's two MAC losses were . . .

A Miami team that has won two straight meets a Central Michigan team coming off two losses Saturday at Yager Stadium. For MU, the recent formula has been a strong defense and improved offense. Miami, which averaged 11 ppg through the first five weeks, has averaged 34.0 points against Eastern Michigan (38-14) and Ohio (30-20) over the last two weeks. In fact, the RedHawks owned a 30-6 lead on the Bobcats before going to a more conservative attack in the final 15 minutes. CMU has been among the MAC leaders in scoring and currently ranks third (29.9 ppg). However, it is eighth in scoring defense (30.3 ppg). Saturday will be the 31st meeting between the two programs with the RedHawks holding a slight 16-13-1 advantage. Miami has won each of the last four meetings, dating back to 2016 and hasn't lost at home since Oct. 5, 2013. The 2019 contest was at Ford Field in Detroit as Miami edged the Chippewas 26-21 to win the MAC Championship. In their most recent meeting, MU claimed . . . |
