RedHawks running game struggles at Florida

By Pete Conrad | Saturday, September 4, 2010, 10:14 PM

Although the Miami RedHawks kept their season-opening game against Florida more than a little competitive deep into the fourth quarter today, Sept. 4, their running game wasn’t competitive at all.

Miami gained a net total of only 4 yards in 22 attempts, and it would have been a lot worse had it not been for true freshman Tracy Woods, who replaced Thomas Merriweather after Merriweather had been ejected. Woods ran five times for 19 yards.

It will be interesting to see what Merriweather’s status will be for next weekend’s home opener against Eastern Michigan. He was ejected after being called for committing a personal foul in the first half; in his five carries Merriweather had minus-2 yards.
