AMHERST, Mass. (AP) Caleb Heavner and Scoop Smith each ran for touchdowns and Miami (Ohio) held on to beat UMass 20-19 in a contest that went down to the last offensive play of the game on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Redhawks (3-3, 1-1 Mid-American Conference) led 20-13 with 2:21 left to play. UMass (4-2, 1-2) took the possession and went on a nine-play, 70-yard drive that ended when backup quarterback Logan Inagawa threw a 21-yard touchdown to Max Dowling with a second left in regulation.<\/p>\n
Opting to play for the win, the Minutemen\u2019s Reece Adkins was stopped by Miami\u2019s Malcolm McClain on the two-point conversion attempt.<\/p>\n
Heavener\u2019s 7-yard touchdown run with 1:11 left in the first quarter ended a 7-all tie and the Redhawks led the rest of the way.<\/p>\n
Heavener struggled from pocket completing just 6-of-20 passed for 95 yards but ran for 54 yards on 11 carries and the touchdown.<\/p>\n
Aedan McCarty threw for 171 yards for UMass before being replaced by Inagawa, who went 6-for-6 passing for 83 yards.<\/p>\n
The RedHawks have a 6-1 advantage in the 14-year-old series.<\/p>\n
