Miami (OH): 2026 Week 3 recap

Miami (OH) sits at 0–1 after a brutal 59–14 road loss to Pittsburgh in Week 1, holding a rating of −4 and ranking 85th per GIE. The rating hasn't budged week-over-week, a concerning sign given the Redhawks face an immediate test at home against Holy Cross this weekend. The Week 1 collapse speaks volumes: a red-zone TD rate of just 15% and third-down conversion at 31% reveal an offense stuck in neutral. GIE projects 6.3 expected wins for the season, though the model gives them virtually no shot at a conference title (5.4%) or the playoff picture (0%). Bounce-back home game or not, Miami (OH) needs to reverse course fast.
