Belton throws first touchdown pass, Miami leads at half
By Pete Conrad
Red-shirt freshman Clay Belton, making his first collegiate start, lofted a 53-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Chris Givens as the Miami RedHawks took a 14-10 halftime lead over over the Bowling Green Falcons Saturday, Oct. 18 at Perry Stadium.
The touchdown pass came with 7:34 remaining in the second quarter and was Miami’s longest offensive play of the season.
Miami sophomore tailback Thomas Merriweather, who gained 29 yards on the RedHawks’ first toudchdown drive, has not returned to action. He apparently suffered a lower leg or ankle injury. He was on his feet during most of the second quarter; his status for the rest of the game is unknown.
It was a tough first half, physically, for the RedHawks, who later lost offensive lineman Dave DiFranco to what appeared to be a right knee injury. His status is being determined.
Belton started for junior Daniel Raudabaugh, who made started Miami’s previous 13 games at quarterback.
