Ole Miss and Miami played a tight first half in the Fiesta Bowl despite the fact that the Hurricanes controlled the ball for most of the first two quarters. Ole Miss scored one long touchdown on a two play drive and that was just enough to keep it close, .
Their longest sustained drive came during the second quarter when they got one of two first downs thanks to a roughing the passer penalty. The drive ended with a field goal a few plays later, but it sure looked like Miami got away with a second roughing the passer penalty on the drive.
