Pre-game
Ohio (5-6, 3-4 MAC) came into Tuesday's regular season finale after a loss on senior night to Northern Illinois the week prior. The game against the Huskies was never out of sight until a late fumble in the fourth quarter while the Bobcats were driving down the field, trailing by a touchdown.
The Bobcats came into Oxford desperate for a win to keep their hopes alive to see bowl action for the sixth consecutive season. A win would also keep them from finishing the season with a losing record.
Miami (2-9, 2-5 MAC) came into its season finale after two straight losses, to Western Michigan and Central Michigan. The RedHawks only two victories of the season both came at home, against and Massachusetts.
RedHawks quarterback Andrew Hendrix has improved their offense drastically after transferring from Notre Dame to Miami a season ago. Miami's two losses trump the 0-12 season the RedHawks suffered in 2013.
