The Redhawks (1-2) may be a bird, but their team has done anything but soar this season. In two games against FBS teams (Iowa and Cincinnati), Miami has been outscored 73-27, their offense failing to get off the ground in either game, which will prove to be a problem against Ohio State (3-0).
Their sole victory, home against Tennessee Tech, did show shades of a team that can execute on both sides of the ball. In the second quarter alone, the Redhawks scored 31 points and allowed none.
On offense, Miami will be led by true freshman QB Brett Gabbert, who is the younger brother of NFL QB Blaine Gabbert.
