OXFORD, Ohio -- Three Miami quarterbacks completed an unofficial 26 of 43 passes, including four tosses for touchdowns, in Sunday's intrasquard scrimmage at Yager Stadium. Mike Kokal (Sr., Warren, OH) led the way by completing 12 of 18 passes for 117 yards, including a pair of TD passes. Other than a 24-yard reverse run for a touchdown by freshman wide receiver Jamal Rogers (Fort Myers, FL), Miami's defense held RedHawk runners to an unofficial total of 114 yards on 39 rushing attempts.
Other individual highlights included (all statistics unofficial):
* Wide receiver Dustin Woods (So., Cincinnati) caught three passes for 62 yards, including a 46-yard TD
* Wide receiver Chris Givens (Fr., Chillicothe) caught five passes for 93 yards, including a 15-yard TD
* quarterback Clay Belton (Fr., Dayton) completed six of 10 passes for 93 yards and one TD
* quarterback Daniel Raudabaugh (So., Coppell, TX) completed 8 of 15 passes for 66 yards and one TD
* linebacker Clayton Mullins (Jr., Fairborn) returned an interception 24 yards for a TD
* punter JAKE RICHARDSON (Jr., Oxford) averaged 51 yards per punt on 12 kicks, including three 60-yarders
* placekicker Trevor Cook (So., Sioux Falls, SD) kicked field goals of 44 and 43 yards
QUOTING Shane Montgomery:
"Just like any other scrimmage, we saw some things we liked and some things we didn't like. The defense consistently stopped the running game, and we need to do that to have a successful season. Of course, that means that our running game was inconsistent, so we'll have to show improvement in that area. One of the purposes of a scrimmage is to identify our `down-the-road' guys, the last 10 to 15 players that will make the travel squad. Those individuals are beginning to surface, but we've got a lot of practices between now and the first game (at Ball State on August 30). "
PIGSKIN PICNIC: The 2007 Miami Football Picture Day and Pigskin Picnic will be held next Saturday, August 18, at Yager Stadium.
