AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Dequan Finn threw for 203 yards and a touchdown and Miami of Ohio used the second half to pull away from Akron for a 20-7 win on Saturday.
Dom Dzioban’s 41-yard field with 1:33 before halftime served as the game’s first points and Miami (3-3, 2-0 MAC) led 3-0 halftime.
With 10:35 left in the third quarter, D’Shawntae Jones crashed in from the 1 to end a nine-play, 75-yard drive to make it 10-0. After the RedHawks’ defense held Akron to minus-6 yards on the next drive, Finn threw a 60-yard scoring pass to Kam Perry with 7:57 left in the third.
Akron (2-5, 1-2) dodged the shutout when Ben Finley completed a 5-yard touchdown pass to Israel Polk to make it 20-7. Finley threw for 211 yards.
Miami leads the all-time series 24-9-1 and has won eight-straight games in the series overall. The RedHawks are 11-6 against the Zips in Akron.
The RedHawks have now won nine-straight MAC regular season contests, dating back to Oct. 12, 2024 and are 18-2 in their last 20 MAC games.
