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. Several late opportunities were present and the team showed resiliency in the second half, but the game-tying touchdown never occurred.
