It was a rough debut for Miami quarterback
By Pete Conrad
It probably wasn’t the kind of debut Zac Dysert had in mind when he first signed a letter of intent to play football for Miami University.
The redshirt freshman gave some relief to starting quarterback Daniel Raudabaugh in the second half of Miami’s 48-0 loss at Boise State last week. By the time he and lot of other second-string offensive players went onto the field, the Broncos were having their way in just about every respect.
“It’s a bad position to put a quarterback in,” Miami coach Mike Haywood said, adding that’s why he kept starter Thomas Merriweather in the game at tailback, so Dysert would have at least one veteran to block for him in the backfield.
It didn’t help much. Two of Dysert’s four passes were intercepted. The other two were completed for a net gain of 1 yard.
“He was a little shell shocked,” Haywood said. “His eyes were as big as grapefruits … But he’s got to get prepared. He’s got to get some reps.
“I feel bad for him, but he’s a great kid and he’s going to be a great football player,” the Miami coach added. “He just needs to play.”
