The highly anticipated clash between the Miami University RedHawks and the University of Miami Hurricanes is set to take place on Friday night in Miami. However, the trash talk has already begun, as RedHawks quarterback Brett Gabbert recently asserted that the “real Miami” is in Oxford, Ohio, where Miami University is located.
Gabbert confidently stated, “I think we’ll show them on Sept. 1.” The RedHawks have a rich football history dating back to the late 1880s, producing renowned coaches such as Bo Schembechler, Webb Ewbank, and Paul Brown. Notably, Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger also emerged from Miami University.
On the other hand, the Hurricanes have a storied legacy, with numerous college stars transitioning into NFL greatness and multiple national championships to their name. Remarkably, the two schools have only faced off once in the modern era, resulting in a dominant 54-3 victory for the Hurricanes in 1987. The other two meetings occurred in 1945 and 1946, with the first encounter humorously dubbed “The Confusion Bowl.”
As the game approaches in Coral Gables, both teams will aim to kick off their seasons on a positive note. The Mario Cristobal-led Hurricanes finished their first year with a 5-7 record, while the RedHawks, under coach Chuck Martin, ended the season with a 6-7 record and a loss in the Bahamas Bowl.
In conclusion, the battle of Miami promises to be an exhilarating event, with both teams determined to showcase their skills and secure a victory.
