College Football: 8 Takeaways from Miami's Win over Western Michigan
The Miami RedHawks stand alone atop the Mid-American Conference after a 26-17 victory over Western Michigan on Saturday.
Miami's win was fueled by its defense, a composed fourth quarter from quarterback Dequan Finn, and a steady outing from kicker Dom Dzioban in front of 18,025 at Yager Stadium.
Key Takeaways
- Physical slugfest: The game lived up to its billing as a hard-hitting Mid-American Conference matchup, with Miami coach Chuck Martin describing it as "tough, fast, twitchy football."
- Red zone inefficiency: Miami's offense moved the ball well early but struggled to finish drives, managing only three field goals from three red-zone trips in the first half.
"We moved it better than I thought," - Chuck Martin
