The Miami University football team silenced the doubters and was victorious for the sixth consecutive contest in its regular season finale over Ball State University (5-7) by a close score of 21-20. Redshirt junior quarterback Gus Ragland capped off his perfect 6-0 record on the season, putting together a career performance in which he completed 26 of 35 passes for 380 yards and three touchdowns to help secure Miami a spot in a bowl game for the first time since 2010.
After starting the season 0-6, the team seemed to be headed towards yet another losing season.
