MIAMI OHIO STATE

10 56

Sept. 1, 2012 Ohio Stadium ? Columbus, Ohio

Attendance: 105,039

The Miami football team came out with several opportunities to score early in the first half, but dropped passes and a missed field goal gave Ohio State University a chance to get comfortable.

The Buckeyes, who trailed 3-0 after the first quarter, settled in en route to a 56-10 victory in coach Urban Meyer's debut at Ohio Stadium in front of 105,039 fans.

Quarterback Zac Dysert, who completed 31 of 53 passes for 303 yards, put Miami in position to succeed in the early going. He completed a 42-yard pass to Nick Harwell midway through the opening frame, setting up a 24-yard field-goal attempt, but freshman Kaleb Patterson sent the kick wide right.

Harwell finished with eight catches for 120 yards. Dysert made another big play on Miami's next offensive possession, completing a 58-yard pass to Dawon Scott, which placed the team at the OSU 10-yard line. But, three incompletions resulted in a 22-yard Patterson kick with 1:23 left. The RedHawks held the lead until early in the second when Ohio State's Devin Smith made a one-handed 23-yard TD catch. The Buckeyes followed up the score with two more in the half for a 21-3 lead that would have become even bigger except for a goal-line stand from at the 1 on the final play of the half. Ohio State increased the lead to 35-3 with the first two scores of the second half before Dysert hooked up with Harwell for a 44-yard TD pass with 10:24 left in the third quarter. Ohio State closed out the game with three fourth-quarter touchdowns.

RUSH OFFENSE KEEPS GETTING BETTER

Since his arrival, Coach Martin has talked about the importance of a strong rushing

attack, an attack that has continued to get better under his watch. In fact, Miami is

one of just two schools (Wake Forest) to improve its rushing attack n each year from

2014-2018.

I AM YOUR NEPHEW Mayock, the nephew of Oakland Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock, is coming off a career year in 2018. The 6-foot-5 wide receiver posted 22 catches for 319 yards and three scores in 2018. At Iowa, he lead all receivers with three catches for 65 yards.

JACK OF ALL TRADES Sorenson exploded onto the scene in 2018. After not recording a single catch in 2016 (redshirted) or 2017, Sorenson earned third team All-MAC honors in 2018 after recording 53 catches for 742 yards and two touchdowns. He posted five catches for 44 yards and a score at Iowa.

LAST CHANCE U The hit documentary show on Netflix, Last Chance U, featured Independence Community College. Junior defensive back Zedrick Raymond, now a member of the Miami University football team, was part of that show. During the 2017 season he led the team with four interceptions.

KEEPS GETTING BETTER Doug Costin has played 39 games (26 starts) for the RedHawks, all along the defensive line, and each year he gets better. After recording just 1.5 sacks in 2016, Costin had 5.0 in 2017 and 6.0 in 2018, earning second team All-MAC accolades. In his career, the defensive tackle has posted 124 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks.

BUTLER CLEANING HOUSE Through two games Kam Butler had just two tackles on the stat sheet. He exploded onto the scene last Saturday at Cincinatti, recording a career-high seven tackles, 2.0 sacks and 4.0 tackles for loss.

IF YOU BUILD IT... Miami's Athletic Director, David Sayler continues to add facilities for the department. The two newest football installments can be seen just north of Yager Stadium. The new David and Anita Dauch Indoor Sports Center (DISC) opened in February of 2015 and features a full length 120-yard field and four sprint lanes.

Between Yager Stadium and the DISC is the Athletic Performance Center. The APC provides much-needed upgrades to Miami Football's locker room and offices while also hosting a state-of-the-art medical and athletic training facility that serves all Miami's student-athletes.

CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN As in years past under Martin, Miami will not have season long captains. Captains will be selected for each game.
