Players to watch for on the RedHawks ! A very experienced team ! Almost all starters upperclassman !! And a ton of players from football rich Florida !! They should be 4 and 0 if it weren't for Marshall running two kickoffs back for TDS and a fluke turnover against Cincinnati !! Miamis defense is ranked #27 in the country !! Way better than our defense ! And on offense Look out for the midget running back (Joe Morris size) who splits carries with a big running back (like OJ Anderson) !!! And tall receivers who go downfield !! None of those dinky passes !! Gus Ragland can't run worth crap so we need to put pressure on him ! If we don't he may throw for over 400 yards on us ! And a great senior cornerback ! Passing on the redhawks will not be easy !!
# 24 Heath Harding cornerback rated as the seventh best player in all of MAC football !!
Heath Harding had himself quite a 2016 season. His 67 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 11 pass breakups were enough to earn him First Team All-MAC honors. Honors are nothing new to the Dayton, Ohio, native. He was named the Miami Newcomer of the year in 2013 and the Defensive Skill Player of the Year in 2014 !!
Big things are the expectation for 2017, too. The 5’10, 190 lb senior is on the Bednarik, Thorpe, and Nagurski watch lists !!!.
