Second Quarter

Score Before: 7-7

Score After: 13-7 Ole Miss

The second quarter was an ugly one for both teams, with Vad Lee putting his passing ineptitude on full display. We also saw Paul Johnson call for a fake punt that failed miserably and Ole Miss kicker Andrew Ritter miss a 29-yard field goal.

In addition to that, Ritter had an extra point blocked after Bo Wallace threw a 28-yard touchdown to Donte Moncrief.

The Rebels had a chance to tack an additional three points on the board just before the half ended, but instead of attempting a 52-yard field goal, Wallace tried to throw for another touchdown… it didn’t happen.
