OXFORD, Ohio (AP) Alonzo Smith ran for 207 yards and three touchdowns and Miami (Ohio) held Ball State scoreless in the second half for a 42-21 victory on Tuesday night.

Gus Ragland accounted for three more scores for Miami (6-6, 6-2 Mid-American Conference). He completed 11 of 16 passes for 159 yards, and his 4-yard touchdown toss to Dominique Robinson tied the game at 21-21 with five seconds left before halftime.

Kenny Young ran for 38 yards for Miami, and is now 11 shy of 2,000 career yards rushing.
