Miami's defense allowed FAMU 107 total yards, 37 rushing yards and 2.3 yards per play. It kept a second consecutive opponent's offense out of the end zone; FAMU's lone score came on a late fumble recovery. Cristobal said the front seven improved and reserves maintained a relatively decent execution level, an assessment from this FCS matchup.
