KENT, Ohio (AP) -- Jake O'Connell caught a go-ahead 11-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Raudabaugh and Miami University's defense forced three turnovers in beating Kent State 20-13 on Saturday.

With the score tied 10-10 at halftime, the RedHawks (3-3, 2-0 Mid-American Conference) took the second-half kickoff and drove 71 yards in seven plays, capped by Raudabaugh's pass to O'Connell.

Nathan Parseghian added the second of his two field goals and the RedHawks hung on behind their defense. Wendell Brunson and Jerrid Gaines each had interceptions and Ryan Kennedy recovered a fumble.

Kent State (3-3, 1-2) fell despite having more first downs (25-16), twice as many rushing yards (203-101) and 52 more total yards.

The Golden Flashes' Eugene Jarvis, who came in third in the nation in rushing with 154 yards per game, was limited to 82 on 19 carries. He opened the scoring on a 3-yard run but Kent State was limited to two Nate Reed field goals the rest of the way.

Austin Sykes led Miami with 74 yards rushing on 18 carries and scored on a 1-yard plunge.

Raudabaugh was 8-of-12 passing for 186 yards and Mike Kokal was 8-of-10 for 124 yards. Neither had an interception for the RedHawks.

Julian Edelman completed 19-of-22 passes for 260 yards but had both interceptions.
