MIAMI 38, EASTERN MICHIGAN 14
By MIKE SMITH
YPSILANTI, MI -- With their backs against the wall, the Miami RedHawks (2-4, 1-1 MAC) executed their best all-around performance of the 2024 season Saturday when they defeated Eastern Michigan (4-2, 1-1 MAC) 38-14 Saturday at Rynearson Stadium.
It was a bounce back win for MU, which fell at Toledo last week and desperately needed a victory -- both to avoid falling to 0-2 in conference play and also to avoid a 1-5 record at the schedule mid-way point. Eastern Michigan, meanwhile, was looking for its fourth straight win and a 5-1 mark that would have been its best start since 1989.
While not perfect, MU came up with big plays . . . CONTINUE READING
