Bowl season’s grand opening is finally here, and of course, #MACtion will be on the menu as an opening course into the fully-fledged buffet that is the college football postseason.
The Miami RedHawks (6-6, 4-4 MAC) had to play their way in under the weeknight lights against Ball State, who was also 5-6 at the time of the game. The RedHawks utilized an opportunistic defense and a couple high-flying offensive drives to secure their bid to the Bahamas in style. It’s a nice reward after a back-and-forth season which saw Miami as a potential division favorite. They dealt with heavy departures in the offseason and a myriad of injuries during the season, but can build positive momentum for next season with a win here.
