Miami of Ohio Runs Winning Streak to 14
Josh Betts passed for three touchdowns and ran for a score Saturday night to lead Miami of Ohio to a 49-0 rout of Division I-AA Indiana State.
Betts, making his first start as the replacement for first-round NFL draft choice Ben Roethlisberger, led the RedHawks to six touchdowns in the seven possessions he played. He completed 17 of 27 passes to help Miami win its 14th consecutive game, the longest streak in Division I-A.
Miami will have a tough time extending its streak to 15. The RedHawks play at No. 8 Michigan next Saturday.
The game started 49 minutes late because of lightning that flashed near Yager Stadium. After kickoff, the RedHawks wasted little time overwhelming the Sycamores.
Miami scored on its first five possessions, including Betts’ scoring passes of 16 yards to Luke Clemens and 30 yards to Michael Larkin. Betts also scored on a one-yard sneak.
