Miami (OH) clinches MAC East division title with 23-10 win over Buffalo

The Miami RedHawks are headed to the MAC Championship Game.

Miami (OH) (9-2, 6-1 MAC) clinched its first MAC title game appearance since 2019 on senior night Wednesday, edging Buffalo (3-8, 3-4 MAC) in a wire-to-wire victory, 20-10. The RedHawks officially clinched the MAC East division title — the second in Chuck Martin’s 10 years at the helm — and secured their first season featuring nine or more wins since 2010.

The game featured a slow offensive start as six of the first seven possessions ended in punts and the other was a turnover on downs. Miami’s defense recorded a performance that has become all too familiar for MAC opponents.
