MIAMI -- Ohio State's first trip under interim Coach Luke Fickell was forgettable.
Lamar Miller and a swarming Miami defense saw to that. Miller ran for 188 yards, Jacory Harris threw two first-quarter touchdown passes to Allen Hurns and the Hurricanes topped No. 17 Ohio State, 24-6, on Saturday night.
The Buckeyes could get nothing going against the . Quarterbacks Joe Bauserman and Braxton Miller combined to complete four of 17 passes, and the freshman Miller had the giveaway that sealed Ohio State's fate when he had the ball punched out by Miami's Marcus Robinson with 9:21 remaining.
Mike Williams recovered for Miami, the Hurricanes' sideline began celebrating, and a few minutes later Al Golden's first win as their coach was complete.
Ohio State (2-1) now is in danger of falling out of the Associated Press' top 25 for the first time in nearly seven years. The Buckeyes have appeared in every poll since Nov. 28, 2004. And for the first time in exactly 23 years, the Buckeyes lost a road game to an unranked nonconference opponent ? the last time that happened was Sept. 17, 1988, a 42-10 defeat at Pittsburgh.
Braxton Miller completed his last two passes on the game's final, meaningless drive ? which salvaged something for Ohio State. The four completions matched the program's worst total for any game in the last 15 years.
