Miami RedHawks College Football Preview 2021: What Will Happen, Season Prediction
Miami University sort of had a 2020 college football season.
It played three games, beat the eventual MAC champion (Ball State), got rolled by the team that probably was the best team in the MAC (Buffalo), and won the free space game (Akron).
It was a full season for three games, and to spin it into a positive, it was the second winning season in a row and the second in the seven-year run under head coach Chuck Martin.
The defense had its issues against the two good teams, was fine against the bad one, and now with 18 starters and both kickers expected to be back, the reasonable goal is to win a second MAC Championship in three seasons.
Set The Miami RedHawks Regular Season Win Total At … 6.5
Miami has the parts for the passing game, the defense has a good enough front seven to be stronger, and the secondary has the all-star power to to be a whole lot better than it was against UB and Ball State.
Getting through September isn’t going to be easy with road games at Cincinnati, Minnesota and Army, but the MAC season isn’t all that bad.
Missing Toledo and Western Michigan is a huge break, and getting Buffalo at home is nice, but the Akron and Bowling Green games – among the easiest on the slate and would’ve been winnable on the road – are at home.
Considering the MAC is always a tad flaky, the goal is to keep hanging around long enough to win the one big game that changes everything.
This year’s Miami University team can do that, and at the very least, it can be in the mix for the MAC East and get to a bowl game.
