State of the program Oxford, Ohio has not been this excited for Miami football in some time. Depending on who you talk with, most would say expectations have not been this high for a Miami football team since Ben Roethlisberger was quarterback, back in 2003. Just four years ago the RedHawks went 0-12 and averaged less than 10 points per game. Now, Miami has had four straight recruiting classes ranked in the top-3 among MAC schools and received the most first-place votes among East Division teams in the media preseason poll. What a difference four years makes.

Roster Breakdown While Miami’s roster is finally starting to trend toward upper-classmen, the youth of RedHawks In Overtime this roster is still shocking. Coming into the 2017 season Miami has 124 players on its Sept. 8, 1996 - at Cincinnati (L, 30-23) - 3 OTs roster and just 12 seniors. Roster breakdown includes: Sixth-year seniors (1), fifth-year Oct. 25, 1997 - Cincinnati (L, 34-31) - 2 OTs seniors (5), seniors (6), red-shirt juniors (19), juniors (13), red-shirt sophomores (16), Sept. 9, 2006 - at Purdue (L, 38-31) - 3 OTs sophomores (9), red-shirt freshmen (22) and freshmen (33).

Diamond Returns For Sixth Year Miami got some great news from the NCAA last spring, when it was announced that Jordan Diamond would be granted a sixth year of eligibility, due to missing two sea- sons because of injury.
