OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — Rodney Nelson had a career-high 142 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 13 carries, Blayne Myrick returned an interception 34 yards for a TD, Miami (Ohio) beat Akron 34-14 on Saturday.
Miami (4-3, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) has won back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Caleb Heavner threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Damarion Witten that made it 17-7 just before halftime.
After Kellan McLaughlin, who made a 24-yard field goal in the second quarter, kicked a 28-yard field goal with 3:32 remaining in the third quarter, Myrick’s pick-6 made it 27-7 just 46 seconds later.
Brandon Hills returned the ensuing kickoff 71 yards to the 28 to set up a 10-yard rushing touchdown by Jordan Gant.
