Miami (OH) has been playing some great ball, winners of 5 in a row and ending the season 9-4. Their last two wins have come against much stiffer opponents than
what they will see against Mid. Tenn....N.Illinois and Temple. After a 1-11 campaign last year, they now find themselves playing in January...you know they will be excited for this game.
The Hawks haven't lost a step since Boucher stepped in and if anything they have featured an even more balanced attack as they have improved their running game tremendously....over 180 per game in their last three! And this will be key as Mid Tenn cannot stop the run. These guys have allowed over 185 ypg over the course of the season and 196 pg in their last 3, Expect Miami (OH) to take advantage, which should open up passing lanes for a team that can also hurt you via pass.
Mid Tenn has also been able to rush the ball well but that's about all they do. Dasher is a big wild card. He has played poorly all year but he is capable of taking over a game. Miami (OH) has been stout against the run....look no further than their performance against one of the nations best rushing teams in N. Illinois. They held N.Illinois, who avgs over 260 a game, to under 100 yds. And that is not a coincidence as they have been great against the run all year. Unless Dasher can work some magic, I expect Miami (OH) to contain the Raiders rushing attack, which is what they live off and force Dasher to beat them passing where he has struggled throwing 6 td to 14 ints. I also have a strong lean on the under.
Going to further research the A&M/LSU game...see you guys before kickoff.
Miami (OH) +2.5
