    Not even an interim coach and a freshman quarterback could keep Miami of Ohio from the best turnaround season in college football history.

    Austin Boucher threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns in his fourth career start and the RedHawks capped a historic season with a 35-21 win Thursday night over Middle Tennessee in the GoDaddy.com Bowl.

    "We didn't play perfect by any means -- we've played better before," Miami interim coach Lance Guidry said. "But boy, the kids were so tough through this whole thing. They've been on a roller-coaster ride."

    The RedHawks (10-4) are the first team in Football Bowl Subdivision history to win 10 games one season after losing 10. Miami finished a dismal 1-11 in 2009, but recovered to win the Mid-American Conference title and finish this season on a six-game winning streak.
