Miami (OH) powered past Eastern Michigan 44-30 behind quarterback Dequan Finn's all-around brilliance, accounting for four total touchdowns—two passing and two rushing. The RedHawks built a 21-14 halftime lead before pulling away with 23 second-half points, including a pivotal safety early in the fourth quarter. Eagles quarterback Noah Kim tried to keep pace with four touchdown passes, including two to Harold Mack and a pair of late scoring strikes to Nick Devereaux, but Miami's ground attack proved too much to overcome.
