Miami (OH) secured a spot in the MAC title game for the third straight season with this win, finishing 7-5 overall and 6-2 in conference play. They will face Western Michigan (8-4, 7-1) in the championship.
The RedHawks amassed 234 rushing yards and 226 passing yards, with Thomas Gotkowski throwing three touchdowns (including a 55-yarder to Kam Perry) and Jordan Brunson and D'Shawntae Jones each adding rushing scores. This balanced production will be key against Western Michigan.
Miami's defense recorded six sacks and forced a fumble recovery for a touchdown by Jermaine Agee late in the game. This aggressive pass rush and ability to create turnovers could disrupt Western Michigan's offense in the title game.
The RedHawks extended their winning streak against Ball State to five games, demonstrating consistent dominance in the rivalry. This momentum and confidence may carry into the championship matchup.
Despite Ohio and Toledo also having 6-2 conference records, Miami (OH) earned the MAC title game berth due to a tiebreaker based on common opponents. This resilience in close conference races highlights their ability to perform under pressure.
Miami (OH) RedHawks — 7-6 overall, 7-2-4 ATS, power rating -2.1.
