Bill Brechin has had the RedHawks defense dominating all season on its way to holding opponents to just 16. 2 points per game, seventh in the country, and that number drops to 13. 4 against Group of Five teams. Led by MAC Defensive Player of the Year Matthew Salopek, Miami (OH) is 22nd in EPA per play on defense, 23rd in EPA per pass, and 38th in EPA per rush. Without any experience at quarterback and with its devastating defense, Miami (OH) should continue its trend of low-scoring games. It’s especially encouraging that this is an Appalachian State offense that struggled against Troy — an equally impressive Group of Five defense — in the Sun Belt Championship.
The RedHawks did it with dominating defense and ball-control offense, and they’ll need to do it again in a game where the Under 44. 5 stands out. Not only is it an enticing number because Miami (OH)’s defense is one of the best in the Group of Five, but it’ll also be without Gabbert and backup quarterback Aveon Smith.
But it’s been an inefficient and inconsistent rushing offense that sits 87th in EPA per rush that just lost starting running back Nate Noel to the transfer portal. That should allow this mighty Miami (OH) defense to sell out to some extent to slow Aguilar and the passing game just enough to keep the Under in play. It did stunt the Rockets' explosive passing game in the MAC Championship, after all.
