Miami-OH vs Kent State Prediction
I’ll stay with Miami-OH. The RedHawks were able to get their sixth win of the season in comeback fashion last week against a good Ohio squad. Miami-OH had a rough offensive day though, notching just 153 total yards, 15 first downs, 3-of-14 on third-down tries and 24:29 in time of possession. The RedHawks defense gave up 381 yards and 21 first downs alongside a couple of takeaways, and also surrendered just 3-of-17 on third downs. During this current 4-1 stretch, Miami-OH has posted 28 or more points in four games. They shouldn’t have too many issues with Kent State.
Speaking of Kent State, they were in a winning position late against Bowling Green but lost the handle in another defeat. The Flashes ended up surrendering 409 yards and 20 first downs in that one but did have a couple of picks on defense. I’m not thrilled about their prospects here.
