The Miami RedHawks (7-6, 5-3 MAC) earned their first bowl victory in over a decade on Thursday afternoon, using a dominant defensive performance to defeat North Texas (6-7, 5-3 C-USA) in the inaugural Frisco Football Classic. The RedHawks defense limited the Mean Green to 317 yards of total offense in the game and also forced two first half turnovers that helped Miami establish momentum.
After a punt from North Texas to open the game, Miami took over on their own 33-yard line. The RedHawks quickly crossed midfield, courtesy of a Kevin Davis 15-yard run and a personal foul penalty against the Mean Green.
