Recap: Miami drops opener to Marshall for second-straight year

Another game down to the wire, another loss for the Miami RedHawks.

Ending up on the wrong side of one possession games has become a theme for Miami in the Chuck Martin era, where the RedHawks dropped to 5-18 in Oxford on Saturday night.

For the second-straight season, Miami failed to complete a comeback bid against the Marshall Thundering Herd and begin the season with a tough loss to the Conference USA foe.

The RedHawks have not won an opener against an FBS opponent since the team slid past Ball State in Muncie in 2007.
