At long last, Miami celebrates victory

The longest losing streak is school history is over.

The Miami RedHawks held on to defeat the Toledo Rockets 31-24 today, Oct. 31 at Yager Stadium to snap a 13-game losing streak.

The Rockets appeared to be an extra-point attempt from tying the game after tight end Danny Noble caught what looked like a 9-yard touchdown pass with 1:01 remaining, but a replay showed that Miami’s Anthony Kokal knocked the ball loose before Noble crossed the goal line.

The ball hit the pylon and the officials ruled that it was a touchback, not a touchdown. Miami got the ball on the 20-yard line.

The victory was the first in the head coaching career of Michael Haywood, who calmly walked across the field to shake hands with Toledo coach Tim Beckman after the clock ran out.
