RedHawks try to stop skid
Enquirer news services
After losing the past two weeks to Marshall (27-21) and Hawaii (52-51), the Miami RedHawks (7-4, 6-1 Mid-American Conference, 4-1 East) are back in the same scenario today — trying to avoid three straight losses — that they faced when they originally were scheduled to face Kent State (5-5, 4-3 MAC, 2-3 East), Sept.15.

The RedHawks are coming into the game looking to finish out the regular season with eight wins for the first time under coach Terry Hoeppner and run their winning streak vs. Kent State to 13 games.
The Golden Flashes, led by multidimensional freshman quarterback Joshua Cribbs, have won four of their last five games thanks to a rejuvenated offense that has averaged 31 points over the stretch.
The Flashes were off last week, but they have momentum after knocking off Ball State 31-18 two weeks ago to end the Cardinals' hopes of a MAC West Division title.
