17 Cradle of Coaches Throughout the sports world, Miami University is recognized as The Cradle of Coaches because of the number of coaching legends who began their careers on the Oxford campus. College football luminaries such as Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, Ara Parseghian and John Pont used Miami as a training ground, as did professional coaching greats like Weeb Ewbank, Paul Brown and Sid Gillman. At one point in 1977, five of the 10 head football coaches in the Big Ten were products of Miami University. Presently, two of the Big Ten s head football coaches have Miami roots: Ron Zook, Illinois and Jim Tressel, Ohio State. The list on the page 158 contains just some of the college and NFL head coaches who started at Miami, either as players, assistant coaches or head coaches. Their years and roles at Miami are noted in italics.

During one 14-year span, three of the greatest coaches of all time Woody Hayes, Ara Parseghian and Bo Schembechler blew the whistle for the Redskins. Sid Gillman, Bill Mallory, Dick Crum and John Pont are other Miami head coaches who moved on to greater fame elsewhere. Red Blaik, Paul Brown, Carmen Cozza, Weeb Ewbank, Dave McClain, Gary Moeller, Larry Smith and Jim Young either played and or served as assistants in the Cradle. Those talented coaches combined to win 13 Mid-American Conference titles, more than any other school. And for three straight seasons Mallory and Crum transformed Miami into a national power.

Gillman, who was head coach from , began a football dynasty in Oxford by directing his Miami teams to a record. His 1947 squad rolled to a record, including a Sun Bowl victory over Texas Tech. But Gillman s tenure was marked by more than just an impressive record. His passion for football and his enthusiasm for teaching the game led to an incredible coaching legacy at Miami. Among the players Gillman recruited to Oxford were Bill Arnsparger, Paul Dietzel, Ara Parseghian, John Pont and Bo Schembechler. Parseghian, Pont and Schembechler began their head coaching careers at Miami, serving back-to-backto-back coaching stints from All three went on to earn National Coach of the Year honors Parseghian at Notre Dame, Pont at Indiana and Schembechler at Michigan. Dietzel was also a National Coach of the Year at LSU. After spending one year as an assistant at West Point, Gillman returned to southwestern Ohio and was named head coach at Cincinnati where he led the Bearcats to a record and three MAC championships in six seasons. He then enjoyed a distinguished 18-year career in the National Football League, posting a record with the Los Angeles Rams ( ), San Diego Chargers ( ) and Houston Oilers ( ). His teams won five divisional titles and an AFL crown. Gillman, went on to work in the front offices of the Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders and Chicago Bears and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Football

19 Cradle of Coaches Throughout the sports world, Miami has the unique reputation as the Cradle of Coaches. Legendary football coaches such as Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, Ara Parseghian, Weeb Ewbank, Paul Brown and Sid Gillman all had roots at Miami, and the impact they left on the college football landscape can still be felt today. At last count, more than 100 Miami graduates were active in coaching or administrative work in the professional and collegiate levels. More than 30 of the men and women in the collegiate ranks are presently head coaches. Over the past 63 years, 19 collegiate and professional coaches with Miami roots have stood atop their respective professions as National Coaches of the Year. Bob Kurz, a 1958 graduate of Miami and former Miami Sports Information Director, helped put the legacy in context with his book Miami of Ohio: The Cradle of Coaches, which lays out the program s proud coaching tradition from its humble beginnings through the 2002 season, when it was last revised. His inspiration for the biography came in 1959, when Miami graduates Paul Dietzel and Parseghian were coaching the No. 1 and No. 2 college programs in the land and Brown, Gillman and Ewbank were revolutionizing the professional game. Prior to the 2004 season, Kurz and his wife, Marian, provided a gift to the University to construct a Cradle of Coaches Plaza beyond the South endzone of Yager Stadium. The beautifully architected plaza provides a grand entrance to the stadium and will be adorned in 2010 with life-sized statues of some of the program s greatest coaching legends. To the right is a list of Miami s 19 National Coaches of the Year, and on the facing page is a listing of the numerous Miami graduates still active in college and professional athletics. Miami has been the training ground for 19 National Coach of the Year recipients at the professional and collegiate levels, including 12 in football.

While all Miami Alumni who go on to coach or those who have coached at Miami are considered a part of the Cradle of Coaches, the Cradle of Coaches Association began inducting individuals into the Association in 1992 to further recognize their accomplishments. In 1999 and 2000, Miami s Hall of Fame Committee further developed criteria for induction into the Cradle of Coaches to be more inclusive of all sports.

Miami scored the first three touchdowns of the game and led by as much as 35-7 after a 26-yard TD pass from Roethlisberger to Michael Larkin. A furious Cardinal rally would close the deficit to late in the third quarter, but a Mike Smith touchdown run and a Matt Pusateri interception return for a touchdown would provide the RedHawks with all the security they needed.

Miami had trailed 10-0 late in the first half, but quarterback Josh Betts hooked up with running back Luke Clemens on a 28-yard touchdown pass to close the gap to three right before the teams headed for the locker room. The RedHawks took their only lead of the game in the third quarter, when Mike Smith scored from two yards out. The dangerous combination of Cyclone running back Stevie Hicks and quarterback Bret Meyer proved too much, however, as ISU rumbled for 295 yards on the ground, including a one-yard touchdown plunge in the fourth quarter that put ISU up for good. Miami had a last chance late in the fourth quarter after stuffing the Cyclones on fourthand-inches, but ISU s Ellis Hobbs picked off a Betts pass to end the game.

32 Year to Remember The 1973 football season is the opening chapter in a trilogy of seasons that helped Miami carve a unique niche in college football history. From , Miami amassed an amazing record, capturing three Mid-American Conference and Tangerine Bowl titles along the way. Miami opened the 1973 season with a 32-0 win over Dayton. In a sign of things to come, the MU defense held the Flyers to just nine rushing yards and 63 passing yards, while Miami s offense rolled up 384 total yards. In Week 2, Miami traveled to West Lafayette to take on Big Ten foe Purdue. The Boilermakers led midway through the fourth quarter when Miami staged a furious comeback. Junior Brad Cousino blocked a Purdue punt and returned it 26 yards to the Purdue 34 yard-line. That set up a 30-yard TD pass from Steve Sanna to fullback Chuck Varner that cut the gap to Miami held Purdue on the following series and again forced the Boilermakers to punt. Miami s pressure on the punt resulted in just a 14-yard kick, giving Miami the ball on its own 39 yard-line. Varner ended the ensuing 61-yard scoring drive with a 3-yard plunge, his third touchdown of the game, to give Miami the win. In a Week 3 tilt at South Carolina, Miami was out to prove that its 21-8 win over the Gamecocks the previous year was no MAC & Tangerine Bowl Champs fluke. Aftera3-3 first half, Miami went up 10-3 in the third quarter on a 20-yard run by Varner. That score was set up when junior John Roudebush recovered a South Carolina fumble on the Gamecock 34-yard line. Miami recovered another USC fumble later in the period, and sophomore David Draudt kicked a 37-yard field goal to give Miami a 13-3 lead. Despite allowing a fourth-quarter touchdown, the Miami defense proved to be the difference in the win, holding South Carolina to 169 total yards and nine first downs. Our defense did another great job just like it did last week against Purdue, said head coach Bill Mallory. These have to be the best back-to-back victories in Miami football history. Miami opened the MAC slate with an easy 31-6 victory over Marshall. Hitchens opened the game with two touchdown runs in the first quarter and finished the half with 83 yards. Miami s rushing attack tallied 241 yards, while defense held the Thundering Herd to just 24 rushing yards.

Subbing for the injured Hitchens, sophomore Randy Walker scored Miami s only touchdown in the first quarter. Walker finished with 160 yards on 38 carries. Draudt sealed the 10-6 victory with a 41-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Miami s defense held the Bobcats to 67 rushing yards, 54 passing yards and six first downs. The running attack of Varner, Hitchens and Smith helped the Red and White spoil Bowling Green s Homecoming, 31-8, in Week 6. MU rolled up 380 of its 421 total yards on the ground, as all three backs topped 100 yards. Hitchens led the way with 122 yards, including a season-long 62-yarder in the first quarter. Defense was the name of the game when Miami put its 6-0 record on the line against Toledo on Oct. 27. Playing in front of the largest home crowd of the season, Final AP Poll Miami thwarted the high-powered Toledo offense, which was led by the nation s top offensive player, quarterback Gene Swick. The Miami defense held the Rockets to just seven rushing yards and limited Swick to 151 passing yards in a 16-0 shutout. Hitchens scored the game s only TD in the first quarter, and Draudt set a school record with three field goals. The following week, Miami was held to just 52 rushing yards but still managed a 24-9 win at Western Michigan. Miami got off to a quick start when Walker returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a score, the longest kick return in school history. Miami scored two more first-half TDs on Steve Sanna s 75- and 64-yard scoring strikes to Larry Harper and John Wiggins. In Week 9, all that stood in the way of Miami s first MAC title in seven years and a trip to the Tangerine Bowl was defending conference champion Kent. Miami led after three quarters on the strength of Varner s 9-yard TD catch and 2-yard scoring run. Draudt iced the road win with a school-record 52-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Miami closed out the regular season with a 6-0 victory over Cincinnati in the traditional Thanksgiving Week game. The only score came when Larry Harper returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a score. The Miami defense held the Bearcats to 92 total yards and finished the season as the nation s leader in total defense and rushing defense. In the Tangerine Bowl in Gainesville, Fla., Miami was pitted against Southeastern Conference power Florida. Despite 20-degree weather, Miami amassed 239 rushing yards against the SEC s top defense en route to a 16-7 victory. Varner carried 28 times for 157 yards and a touchdown and was named the game s Outstanding Back. Miami s heralded defense limited the Gators to 189 total yards, including just 90 rushing yards. The victory capped Miami s first undefeated season since 1955 and gave the squad a No. 15 ranking in the final Associated Press poll Football

33 Year to Remember After the successful 1973 season, Miami lost 12 letterwinners to graduation, and head coach Bill Mallory left the Cradle to build a national power at Colorado. Those people left behind a winning legacy, however, and this season s team rallied behind the cry of 11 more in 74. In his first game as head coach, Dick Crum shut out Eastern Michigan It was the first time the two schools had met on the gridiron, and the triumph gave Miami a school-record 13 victories in a row. Miami s potent rushing attack racked up 284 yards in the game, led by junior Randy Walker, who totaled 103 yards. The powerful Miami defense, which led the nation in total defense in 1973, showed that it was still a force, holding EMU to one yard passing and 104 total yards in the game. Miami s winning streak ended the following week with a 7-7 tie at Purdue. After a scoreless first half, Purdue took a 7-0 lead late in the third quarter. Miami tied the game on a 35-yard touchdown pass from Steve Sanna Final AP Poll to Ricky Taylor with 2:53 left to play. Purdue had a chance to win the game but missed a 32-yard field goal with four seconds left. Sanna completed 23 of 36 passes for 227 yards on the day. Marshall felt the wrath of Miami the following week as the Red and White got back on winning track with a 42-0 branding of the Herd. After a disappointing rushing attack the previous week, Miami rolled up 344 rushing yards at Marshall. Walker and sophomore Rob Carpenter combined for 235 yards and four touchdowns in the game. In the Week 4 contest at Kentucky, the Wildcats jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first seven minutes of the game. Despite surrendering 349 total yards in the game, Miami did not relinquish another point the rest of the game, and rallied for a victory. Brad Cousino helped set up both of Miami s third-quarter touchdowns, forcing a fumble that set up a 6-yard touchdown pass from Sherman Smith to Ricky Taylor, and later blocking a Wildcat punt that was recovered by Brad Miller for the deciding score. The next two weeks saw Miami dismantle MAC rivals Ohio and Bowling Green by a combined score of In the 31-3 victory at Ohio, Miami piled up 397 rushing yards, including 123 by Walker. In a win over Bowling Green, Miami ran for 264 yards. Smith led the way with 109 yards, while Carpenter pitched in with 84 yards and two TDs. Toledo took to the air in Week 7 to try to upset the Redskins. Rocket quarterback Gene Swick assaulted the Miami secondary by completing 25 of 38 passes for 341 yards and a touchdown. Miami clung to a lead heading into the fourth quarter and looked for someone to put the game away. Carpenter proved to be the man for the job, scoring on runs of 49 and 20 yards en route to 181 yards and UPI Running Back of the Week honors. Walker completed a halfback option to Larry Harper for Miami s final score in the win. After being scorched by the Toledo offense, Miami s defense responded with a 31-0 shutout of Western Michigan. Smith led Miami s rushing attack with 132 yards and two TDs. Looking to capture its second consecutive MAC championship, Miami played host to Kent in the home finale. The preseason MAC favorite, Kent had already been eliminated from title contention but was looking to spoil Miami s title hopes. Miami led in the fourth quarter, but the Flashes used an 80-yard, 1.

On Miami s final possession, Walker completed a 28-yard option pass to Smith to get the Redskins near midfield, and Senna completed a pair of sideline passes that moved Miami to the Kent 22-yard line. After three quick running plays resulted in no gain, the game was in the hands and foot of kicker David Draudt, whose 39-yard game-winner with six seconds left gave Miami its second consecutive conference championship and a return trip to the Tangerine Bowl. Said Draudt: This has not been a very good year for me. I had missed some field goals I should have made, but this was one MAC & Tangerine Bowl Champs I wasn t going to miss. Miami concluded the regular season with a record after a 27-7 triumph at rival Cincinnati. Miami put up 21 points in the opening half on a fumble recovery on the opening drive and two touchdown passes from Sanna. Miami s defense handled the rest, limiting the Bearcats to 119 total yards, including just 14 rushing yards, and three first downs. For the second consecutive year, Miami concluded its season with a trip to Orlando for the Tangerine Bowl. Miami turned two Georgia turnovers into scores in taking an early 14-3 lead. Miami then used its running attack to pound out 228 yards, slowing down Georgia s potent offense in the process. Carpenter led Miami with 114 yards on 30 carries, but it was quarterback Sherman Smith who made a big difference in the outcome. Smith rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown, and completed a 7-yard TD pass to earn Most Valuable Back honors. Despite losing three fumbles in the second half, Miami limited the Bulldogs to one score en route to the victory. Miami ended the season with a record and enjoyed a No. 10 ranking in the final Associated Press poll, marking the first time a MAC team had finished among the Top 10 teams nationally.

34 Year to Remember As the 1975 season opened, Miami rode an impressive 23-game unbeaten streak that dated back to the final game of the 1972 season. More importantly, the Redskins had their sights set on a third consecutive Mid-American Conference championship. The Red and White opened the campaign with a 50-0 thrashing of Marshall at Miami Field. The Miami offense blistered the Herd for 476 total yards, including 416 rushing yards. The 50 points were the most scored by Miami since a 66-6 blowout of Marshall in Miami traveled to Michigan State in Week 2 looking to extend not only its unbeaten streak but also its three-game unbeaten streak against Big Ten foes. The Spartans struck first on a 4-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to lead 7-0 at halftime. Miami opened the second half with an 80-yard drive that was capped by a 30-yard scoring strike from Sherman Smith to running back Randy Walker. The extra point missed, however, making the score 7-6. After Miami recovered a Michigan State fumble at the Spartan 19-yard line midway through the third period, Smith broke through the Michigan State defense from 12 yards out and put Miami up Michigan State climbed back on top with a 56-yard aerial strike with 1:08 left in the game and held on for a win, ending Miami s school-record 24-game unbeaten streak. Still regrouping from the previous week s loss, Miami returned home for a Final AP Poll hard-fought battle with Ball State. Miami held on to defeat the Cardinals, 35-28, extending its MAC winning streak to 12 games. Week 4 saw Miami make its third trip in three years to Ross-Ade Stadium to take on Purdue. Neither team was able to reach the 200-yard mark in total offense, but Miami used a Purdue turnover on its own 34-yard line to punch in its first touchdown on a 4-yard run by Tom Zwayer. Miami iced the game late in the fourth quarter on a 2-yard plunge by Rob 1. Oklahoma 2. Arizona State 3. Alabama 4. Ohio State 5. UCLA 6. Texas 7. Arkansas 8. Michigan 9. Nebraska 10. Penn State 11.

In the next week s game at Dayton, Miami used a blocked punt safety and a 30-yard touchdown pass from Smith to Mike Rhodes to capture a 10-0 win over the Flyers. The MU defense limited Dayton to just three first downs and 190 yards of total offense. The following week, the Miami defense smothered Ohio in a 17-9 win. In MAC & Tangerine Bowl Champs one of the all-time best defensive efforts in school history, the Red and White limited the Bobcats to just 88 total yards, including minus nine rushing yards. The Miami defense stood tall again against Bowling Green in Week 7. After allowing the Falcons 10 first-half points, the Redskins shut down Bowling Green and caused two secondhalf turnovers that allowed Miami to escape, The game-winning score was a 42-yard field goal by freshman Fred Johnson with 3:46 left in the game. In the Parents Day tilt in Week 8, Miami faced the high-powered Toledo Rockets. Miami used its ground attack to control the game and keep the ball out of the hands of Toledo quarterback Gene Swick. Running back Randy Walker spearheaded the victory by piling up 163 yards and a touchdown, including 111 yards in the first half. Miami became just the second team in MAC history to win three consecutive league titles with its victory over Western Michigan in Week 9, guaranteeing the Redskins another trip to the Tangerine Bowl. Miami s rushing attack accounted for 478 yards and all six MU touchdowns. Smith led the ground assault with 175 yards and four touchdowns. In the conference finale, Carpenter led the Redskins to a 27-8 win over Kent, giving Miami its third straight undefeated league record and pushing the team s three-year conference mark to Carpenter accounted for three of Miami s four touchdowns and 153 of the team s 285 rushing yards. Miami won its fifth straight decision over Cincinnati in the regular-season finale, For the second week in a row, Carpenter topped the 150 yard mark, finishing the regular season with 1,022 rushing yards. Miami s visit to the 1975 Tangerine pitted two teams with stark contrasting styles. South Carolina used a high-powered offense, led by quarterback Jeff Grantz, to average more than 409 yards of total offense, while Miami relied on a stingy defense that allowed just 213 yards a game. Miami used its traditional running attack to grind out 238 yards on the ground, led by Carpenter s 120 yards and two touchdowns. Smith also played an important role in the Redskins 20-7 win, completing 10 of 13 passes for 137 yards and running for another 64 yards. The Miami defense held the Gamecocks to 284 total yards, including just 56 rushing yards. Miami ended the season with an 11-1 record and was ranked in the Top 20 for the third year in a row, this time finishing at No. 12.

35 Year to Remember Behind a high-flying offense that staged an all-out assault on the program and MAC record books and a defense with a knack for big plays, Miami University returned to the national college football stage, ending the program s longest MAC Championship drought and earning its first bowl game victory since Ironically, the highest-scoring offense in program history made a dismal debut at the University of Iowa, falling 21-3 the first time the Red and White was kept out of the endzone in 93 games. Junior place kicker Jared Parseghian extended his MAC record with his 18th consecutive field goal conversion on Miami s opening drive, but the RedHawks, who were twice intercepted in the red zone, would not score again. After an uncharacteristically early bye week, Miami returned to action at Northwestern University two weeks later and took out its frustrations with a thrashing of the Wildcats. Junior quarterback Ben Roethlisberger shook off his four-interception performance at Iowa by torching Northwestern for 353 yards and three touchdowns, including a season-long 61-yard TD strike to Martin Nance, who caught four passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns in a breakout MAC & GMAC Bowl Champs performance. Miami made its first visit to Ft. Collins, Colo., the following week to take on Colorado State. On an eye-opening day, the RedHawks ambushed the Rams in their own house, scoring the game s first 14 points and leading by as much as 21. It was junior running back Mike Smith s day to break out, as Smith rolled through the Rams for 125 yards and three TDs. The next week brought the 108th Battle of the Victory Bell, as Miami and Cincinnati clashed on the RedHawks brand new field turf. Miami roared out to a 28-0 lead and held a edge early in the fourth quarter, but the Bearcats rallied with 20 unanswered points in the fourth. With UC receiving a punt that would put it in position to drive for a winning score, Miami forced a key fumble to secure Miami s third straight Victory Bell win.

Miami built a advantage in the third quarter, but the Zips tallied 10 unanswered points and were driving for the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. An interception by sophomore John Busing killed the drive and Akron s chances, as Miami tallied 21 points in the fourth quarter and clinched the win. Sophomore punt returner Ryne Robinson put on a show for a Parent s weekend crowd the following weekend versus Buffalo. Robinson returned back-to-back punts for touchdowns and set a MAC record with 237 punt return yards, as Miami dominated, After its three-game homestand, Miami traveled to Ball State to spoil the Cardinals homecoming festivities. Busing intercepted BSU s first pass of the day and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown, and sophomore Darrell Hunter later added a 64-yard interception return for a TD. The RedHawks held Ball State to just 29 yards rushing in the 49-3 thrashing. A visit to Kent State proved to be the gut-check of the year for the RedHawks, as Miami found itself trailing for the first time in more than six games early in the fourth quarter. Roethlisberger and Nance answered the bell, however, connecting on a pair of fourthquarter TDs and guiding Miami to a win. Nance finished with 181 yards and three touchdowns. Weeknight football came to Oxford on Nov. 4, as Miami hosted nationally-ranked Bowling Green for an ESPN2 televised night game. The RedHawk defense restricted the vaunted Falcon offense to season lows in points and total offense and senior Cal Murray rushed for a pair of touchdowns in an impressive victory. MAC-East rival Marshall came to town the following week for another nationallytelevised contest, and Miami overcame the Thundering Herd and winds gusting up to 50 mph to secure their first MAC East title. Roethlisberger threw for 282 yards and a pair of TDs in spite of the nasty conditions. With a berth to the MAC Championship already secured, Miami traveled South and closed out the regular season at UCF. Roethlisberger completed his first 14 passes and tied a program record with five TD passes on the day, as Miami cruised to the win. Six days later, Miami headed to Bowling Green for a re-match with the Falcons in the MAC title game. BGSU became the only team to score first versus the RedHawks, but it would not be enough to stop Roethlisberger, who set a MAC Championship game record with 440 yards passing. Miami ended its MAC Championship drought in dominant fashion. The motto all year was Play 14 and the 14th and final game of the magical season took place in Mobile, Ala. in the GMAC Bowl. Playing his last game as a RedHawk, Roethlisberger powered Miami to a 35-7 second-quarter edge and finished with 376 yards, four TDs and MVP honors. Junior Matt Pusateri returned a fourthquarter interception 35 yards for a TD to ice the RedHawks record 13th straight win. The RedHawks finished the season at 13-1 and one of only four teams nationally with one loss. Their No. 10 final AP ranking matched the best in program history. 1. USC 2. LSU 3. Oklahoma 4.

54 Miami Traditions MIAMI ALMA MATER Old Miami, from thy hillcrest, Thou hast watched the decades roll. While thy sons have quested from thee, Sturdy-hearted, pure of soul. (Chorus) Old Miami, New Miami, Days of old and days to be; Weave the story of the glory, Our Miami, here s to thee. Aging in thy simple splendor, Thou the calm, and they the storm, Thou didst give them joy in conquest, Strength from thee sustained their arm. Thou shalt stand a constant beacon, Crimson tow rs against the sky; Men shall ever seek thy guiding, Power like thine shall never die. MIAMI FIGHT SONG Love and honor to Miami, Our college old and grand. Proudly we shall ever hail thee, Over all the land. Alma mater now we praise thee, Sing joyfully this lay. Love and honor to Miami, Forever and a day. 190 MIAMI NICKNAME At the request of the Oklahoma-based Miami Tribe, (for whom the school is named) the Miami Board of Trustees voted on Sept. 25, 1996 to discontinue the use of Redskins as the nickname for the University s athletic teams. More than 3,000 nickname suggestions (700 different names) from alumni and current members of the Miami community were received. At its meeting on April 19, 1997, the board selected the nickname RedHawks from three nickname finalists RedHawks, Thunderhawks and Miamis forwarded them by the athletic nickname selection committee. The new moniker went into effect July 1, Then-University president Dr. James C. Garland unveiled the RedHawk logos at a press conference on Oct. 18, 1997 prior to the Marshall game. Swoop, the mascot of Miami teams, made its first appearance on Dec. 9, 1997, before the men s basketball contest versus Xavier. Use of the nickname Redskins for Miami athletic teams dated back to the school year, when the Miami alumni magazine, then edited by the school s lone publicity man, Ralph McGinnis, announced the new nickname as successor to Big Red, which had caused confusion with Denison University teams. A similar tag had popped up in a 1928 story in the Miami Student that referred to the Big Red-Skinned Warriors, but the transition was not made for another three years. For a time in 1931, Redskins and Big Red were used interchangeably in The Student. Prior to 1928, teams had been referred to as The Miami Boys, The Big Reds or The Reds and Whites Football
