It’s hard to sum up in brevity the frustration fans probably felt when Ole Miss exited the first half against South Alabama up by only a field goal, despite gaining nearly 100 more yards than the Jags. It’s even harder to look at the final score and wonder how the result was ever in question, but that’s where we are.
Through two quarters, the Jaguars had maximized the little offensive success they’d found, and the Rebels had done nearly the opposite.
Ole Miss was moving the ball just fine in the first half, but their efficiency advantage wasn’t showing up on the scoreboard.
