Three fourth quarter turnovers by the defense energized the Miami football team and allowed it to pull away with a 31-10 victory over Austin Peay on Saturday afternoon.
The RedHawks' (1-1) big plays allowed them to hold the ball for 12:06 in the fourth quarter to allow them to even their record on the season. After the teams traded punts on their opening drives, the RedHawks took over with good field position at their 40 and embarked on a long drive. A 15-play drive taking 6:48 from the clock was capped by a five-yard scoring toss from Gus Ragland to Kenny Young in the flat.
