Ohio at Miami
Pass offense
B
Another good day for sophomore Chris Givens, who had five catches for 72 yards and an 18-yard touchdown, and junior Brayden Coombs also came up big with three receptions for 42 yards, including one for 31 yards. Daniel Raudabaugh completed 26-of-41 passes, but nothing longer than 31 yards, and he was intercepted twice. But how about Jake Richardson? He completed a 16-yard pass on a fake punt Friday, a year after doing the same thing (for 24 yards) against the Bobcats. His career passing totals: 2-for-2 for 40 yards.
Run offense
B
It’s good to see Andre Bratton fulfill some of his potential with 17 carries for 100 yards. On the other hand, there was that 26-yard loss on the fumbled pitch that Chris Givens had to cover.
Pass defense
C
A lot like last week’s performance. Boo Jackson was efficient, completing 15-of-20 passes for 190 yards and three touchdowns. Robbie Wilson did come up with his third interception of the season and seventh of his career. And Travis Craven had a sack.
Run defense
F
Chris Garrett, 222 rushing yards. The Bobcats, 326 rushing yards. Enough said.
Special teams
B
Place-kicker Nathan Parseghian ended a magnificent season with a perfect 4-for-4 performance. Jake Richardson wasn’t so fortunate. His slim chances of finishing his career as the nation’s leading punter pretty well went down the drain with that 19-yard punt. But he still broke two school records, one for single-season punting average (45.25), breaking his the record of 45.0 he had shared with Gary Layton (1994), the other for career punting average (42.77).
Intangibles
C
The effort against Ohio seemed slightly better than that against Toledo. “I can’t say we don’t have regrets,” said Miami senior linebacker Mickey Mann, “but we definitely fought till the end.”
