Hustle Belt recaps Notre Dame's win over Miami (Ohio).
I watched that game. The Red Hawks have a good defense. They held the Irish scoreless until 3:00 minutes left in the first half. Their defense was competitive all day. What Miami (Ohio) lacks is an offense.
The Red Hawks are second to last (ahead of only Kent State) in rushing offense at 58 yards/game. Miami averages 2.38 yards/carry.
Miami's offense is passing where they are #64 in passing offense 61-112 for 707 yards and 234.8 yards/game.
They are in the middle in total defense ranking #86 @ 385 yards/game.
UMass should be in this game in defense. If the Minutemen do not give up a special teams TD or an INT for touchdown, we should hold the Red Hawks to under 30 points. To win the UMass offense needs to score, not long drives with zero points or a field goal. If the UMass offense can score 28 points, we should be close..
