TUSCON, Ariz. — Kevin Davis posted a career-high 148 yards rushing and two touchdowns on just nine carries on Saturday and Jordan Brunson also ran for two touchdowns to help Miami (Ohio) defeat Colorado State in the Arizona Bowl 43-17 to beat.

Davis scored on a 4-yard run with 12:35 left in the third quarter, Matt Salopek forced a fumble that was recovered by Silas Walters, and quarterback Brett Gabbert’s first rushing touchdown of the season – a 10-yard scramble that capped off a 47-yard run. Yard Drive – about 2 minutes later the score was 22-3.

After the Rams failed to convert on a fourth-and-4 from the 5th, Davis took his hand away up the middle and ran untouched for a 97-yard touchdown to give the RedHawks a 26-point lead, 6:45 left in the third quarter. George Swarn’s 98-yard TD against Western Michigan in 1984 is the longest run in RedHawks history.

Miami (9-5) is 9-7 all-time in bowl games.

Colorado State (8-5) had four turnovers, which the RedHawks converted into 19 points.

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Stephon Bailey and Peter Montini scored on a 1-yard run for the Rams.

Dom Dzioban hit field goals of 34, 26 and 24 yards and the RedHawks led 9-3 at halftime. Dzioban’s 26 made field goals are tied for second on the program’s single-season list with Sam Sloman (2019) – a seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 NFL Draft. Graham Nicholson made 27 of 28 last season and won the Lou Groza Award, given to the best kicker in the country.

The Rams made their first bowl appearance since 2017 when they lost 31-28 to Marshall in the New Mexico Bowl.
