The RedHawks are coming to Piscataway 0-1 on the year, as they lost their season opener to a fellow Big Ten Conference mate in Wisconsin, by a final score of 17-0.

With all that being said, here’s three Miami (OH) RedHawks to know ahead of Saturday’s game.

Head Coach Chuck Martin (12th year)

Salary: $850,000

Overall Record: 139–75

Record at Miami (OH): 65–68

This upcoming season marks Chuck Martin’s 12 season running the Miami (OH) Football program and he’s done a pretty good job of rebuilding it from scratch. When Martin took over in 2014, he saw back to back to seasons of two and three wins respectively, before getting the team to six bowl games and two MAC Championships over the next nine years.

Martin is a winner through and through, as he’s won multiple DII titles as the head coach at Grand Valley State before making the journey to Notre Dame as the OC, where he led the Irish offense to the 2012 BCS National Championship game before taking over at Miami.

Offensive Coordinator: Pat Welsh (3rd year)
