RedHawks still stalked by injuries to running backs
By Pete Conrad
The Miami University football team has lost two running backs to injuries, one temporarily, one apparently permanently.
Sophomore Quincy Landingham, who transfered to Miami from Wisconsin following the 2007 season, no longer is on the RedHawks roster. After being redshirted last season, Landingham was unable to practice this year, either in the spring or summer, because of back problems.
Senior Andre Bratton, several days after being promoted to first string following a strong showing against Kentucky, aggravated a groin injury last Thursday and did not make the trip to Boise State. Miami coach Mike Haywood lists him as “day to day.”
Until Bratton returns, junior Thomas Merriweather is likely to return to No. 1 on the depth chart at tailback, though Haywood said true freshman Roman Lawson will start getting more reps.

Time to change Qb’s. How many chances does Raudabaugh get? He has had four years to become a competent QB, it has not happened. Move on, please. Haywood might be the answer, but he was a curious choice. The offensive cooordinator of an inept ND offense did not really make sense. If you wanted a spread offense, would have looked at coordinator’s from Boise, TT, etc.By miami alum

let’s look at the current coaching staff OC out of NCAA FB for several years, DC out of NCAA FB for several years, recruiting coordinator a DII athletic director for past two years, and the QB coach was a HS coach last year. HAYWOOD…… ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? THIS IS A POOR EXCUSE FOR A COACHING STAFF!!
