Ole Miss vs. Miami is largely a bout between the Rebels' offense and the Canes' defense.
At the beginning of the games, the Canes defense is winning.
The stakes are as high as they can get for Golding and his team right now, and perhaps the pressure is what led Golding's first gamble to face-plant.
Pete Golding's first gamble proves costly
Ole Miss began the first quarter on offense, but was just as quickly dealt with a 3-and-out with Miami's defence taking over.
The Canes started on a good field position on their own 45-yard line.
The first gamble proved a bit too costly for the Rebs as Cristobal had a plan in mind to limit his elite problem named Trinidad Chambliss.
Once Chambliss was off the field, the Canes offense got right onto their action.
Capping off a 13-play, Miami scored a 38-yard field goal on a 44-yard drive to take a 3-0 lead in the first quarter.
The Hurricanes' drive burns 6:59 of clock as Beck attempted four passes.
The second possession was just as bad for Ole Miss. Miami's defense forced another three-and-out, and are basically living in the backfield so far, making things quite uncomfortable for Chambliss.
It is only the first quarter but Miami's defense is creating an undeniable pressure. It will only intensify if Ole Miss's defense can't stop Cristobal's offense from establishing a solid lead on the scoreboard.
The Rebs end the first quarter with a 0-3 score against Miami.
We'll see how the remaining of the game turns out to be.
