USC Ends Half With Field Goal, Tops Ole Miss 6-3 at Halftime

I know defensive battles can be just as complex as offensive shootouts, but the score makes this one pretty self-evident, right? Neither team is having an easy time moving the ball, for varying reasons: Ole Miss is killing itself with pass interference penalties, but it’s been solid otherwise; while the Ole Miss offense has failed to do anything creative or non-obvious with any of its chances. And so we have a 6-3 game. Pretty straightforward, right?
