For the Miami RedHawks, it certainly didn’t seem like a season that would be bowl worthy after starting 0-6. Leave it to Chuck Martin and the RedHawks to have a flair for the dramatic. A winless first six gave way to an undefeated final six and Miami has landed in their first bowl since the 2011 GoDaddy Bowl.
Their opponent? Mississippi State, who earned their bowl invite despite a 5-7 record, based on their APR. I guess the student in student-athlete finally counts for something. What a country!
On paper, this is a game befitting the 12.
