Football: RedHawks settling for field goals
By Pete Conrad
It’s halftime at Yager Stadium and the Ohio Bobcats hold a 17-9 lead over the Miami RedHawks, whose offense has managed only three field goals by Nathan Parseghian.
Ohio has rolled up 221 yards of total offense and scored both of its touchdowns in the second quarter on a 22-yard run by Chris Garrett and a 3-yard touchdown pass from Boo Jackson to Terrence McCrae.
Paeseghian’s field goals have come from 35, 39 and, on the final play of the half, 34 yards. He has converted 19-of-22 field goal attempts this season and is just one field goal short of the single-season record of 20, set by Gary Gussman in 1987.
Jake Richardson has not had a good day in his quest to lead the nation in punting. He has punted twice with a 30.5-yard average. His second punt, late in the first quarter, traveled only 19 yards.
