My Recap
Ohio Bobcats Flatten Miami Red Hawks in 38-3 Upset, Claim MAC Championship CrownAlright, well, let's not bury the lede here, folks. The Ohio Bobcats snatched a convincing victory from the jaws of the Miami (Oh) Red Hawks, 38-3, in the MAC Championship match that had us all on the edge of our seats... Well, at least for the first few minutes.
The Bobcats, who apparently ate their Wheaties or whatever champion breakfast is in Ohio, tore up the turf with 467 total yards with a standout performance from their QB, Parker Navarro. The Red Hawks? Quaint, with 189 yards. The Bobcats’ rush into the end zone was a twist on a classic move, old-school, tripping the light fantastic down the central lane just like the textbooks teach, right into Red Hawks’ heartland, 232 yards to be exact.
Oh, and here's a juicy nugget: Miami's golden boy Gabbert, he tossed an interception, while our man Navarro declared he was having none of that and kept his pass clean. Any promise the Red Hawks showed was promptly snuffed out by the Bobcats stellar defense, led by Blake Leake and his 8 tackles and an interception pocketed by Pearsons.
The final nail in the coffin was sold to us by none other than Mr. Navarro himself, gentleman caller of touchdowns. Of course, we can't forget an honorable mention for Anthony Tyus, and his brisk walk through 151 rushing yards.
In a glorious plot twist, Ohio continues their winning streak, contrary to the odds set by the sages of Vegas. And that's what sports are all about, aren't they? Beautiful, unpredictable chaos.

My Prediction
Miami (Oh) Red Hawks by 3Ladies and gentlemen, we're looking at the Ohio Bobcats going head to head with the Miami (Oh) Red Hawks for a MAC Championship special and let me tell you, it's going to be a wild ride.
Now, these teams aren't exactly unfamiliar with each other, having locked horns twice in the past with Miami (Oh) coming on top on both occasions. But past victories don't always secure future success, now do they?
Let's talk about performances. The Bobcats have outscored their adversaries in recent outings, with dominating shutouts against the Eastern Michigan Eagles and Kent State Golden Flashes. Miami's doing just fine too, with some pretty decisive wins under their belt.
Let's take a look at our quarterbacks. Parker Navarro of the Bobcats boasts a 137.4 passing efficiency with three touchdowns, but also three interceptions. The Red Hawks' Brett Gabbert, however, is tossing slightly better numbers with an efficiency of 145.3 and eight touchdowns, while sporting the same number of interceptions as Navarro. It's not a beauty contest, but Gabbert takes the cake here.
In terms of offensive prowess, pay attention to Ohio's RB, Anthony Tyus and WR, Coleman Owen. Tyus totaled 365 yards with 3 touchdowns over the last month, and Owen picked up an impressive 19.4 average yards per reception. Over on the Red Hawk's side, Keyon Mozee and Reginald Virgil are your guys to watch. Mozee's put up a notable 501 total yards and 2 touchdowns, while Virgil has been on the receiving end of 17 stellar passes with an impressive 22.2 average yardage.
Defensively, both teams aren't slacking either. The Bobcats have Shay Taylor with 13 tackles and 2 sacks and Marcel Walker with an additional two sacks under his belt. Miami's Silas Walters with 13 tackles and Corey Suttle's 4 sacks might just even out the odds.
I mean you may as well toss a coin on this one, but considering the numbers, and the order of the stars... I'm leaning a smidge towards the Hawks.
Albert’s Prediction: Miami (Oh) Red Hawks by 3
