Report Card: Bowling Green at Miami
Pass offense
D
Dysert completed 29-of-48 passes for 259 yards, which isn’t bad. But he also had three interceptions and no touchdown passes, and none of his completions were longer than 21 yards. Jamal Rogers had a good receiving game, coming up with eight catches for 81 yard.
Run offense
C
Officially, Miami had 27 carries for 36 yards. But that includes a lot of Dysert’s yardage loss from sacks. Andre Bratton broke a 32-yard run, Miami’s longest of the season, and Thomas Merriweather had some tough runs up the middle, finishing with 25 yards on six carries.
Pass defense
C
Tyler Sheehan was held to 199 yards, but he made them count: three touchdowns, no interceptions. He dropped a long pass from wide receiver Freddie Barnes, who didn’t drop anything. Barnes had 10 catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns, which is a fairly normal game for him. Linebacker Jerrell Wedge and defensive end Mike Johns each had a sack, but the RedHawks could have used a lot more.
Run defense
D
The Falcons, not a big-time running team, finished with 146 yards on the ground with Chris Bullock ripping through the line of scrimmage in the fourth quarter. Wedge continues to play well, finishing with 13 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss. Anthony Kokal also had a busy night, tying Wedge with 13 tackles, including a team-high seven solo tackles, including a tackle for loss.
Special teams
F
Not much good to say here. Rogers fumbled the opening kickoff and Jim Broadway had to rally just to bring his punting average for the night up to 35.4 yards.
Intangibles
D
The RedHawks aren’t saying it, coach Michael Haywood isn’t buying it, but the RedHawks looked a little tired in the second half. Heck, they didn’t seem to be on top of their game from the start. It’s been a long season and these weekday games late in the season don’t help. These Thursday games, especially when they’re not being televised nationally, stink.
