Vallery throw passes of 9 yds to both Bell and Bertram to move past midfield, but is halted at the 40, facing a 4th and 6. We turn the ball over on downs as they aren't fooled by the trick play to Wittich. Instead we yield a 19-yd gain on a Thornton pass to Clinton, and the Gator QB airs it out on the next play, and the pass is picked off on our 31 by Banks! Vallery gets sacked on the drive and we can only punt to their 37. We hold them to a 4th and 12 at midfield and field the punt on our 11. Vallery goes to Blades for 17, and then Kaplan for 6, but in the end, we punt to their 19th.

This time does the Gators move the ball on us, but are halted on a 4th and 4 on our 30. They convert, only to get a 4th and 17 on the 27 later, thanks to a Cox sack on Thornton. Their kicker succeeds with a 44-yarder to close the deficit to 6-3, Indiana, with 28 seconds left in the first half. At halftime, we have 13 first downs and 190 passing yds, but zero rushing yds. Florida has 10 first downs, 95 rushing yds and 89 passing yds.
