UVa-USC file #2
Southern California leads Virginia 24-7 at the half and the Cavalier fans are happy it isn't any worse. After scoring touchdowns on their first three possessions, the Trojans had a field goal to show for three second-half possessions, although the final possession was an abbreviated one, a kneel-down at the end of the half.
Virginia didn't have a first down until its fourth possession, when the Cavaliers had four of them, two via penalty, before Mikell Simpson scored on a 7-yard run. The Cavaliers had six rushing attempts in the first half, one on a called pass that resulted in a sack and two on direct snaps to Simpson.
