Teams had eight possessions in this game, and one for each team was an end-of-half kneeldown. So basically seven each. How crazy is that? Washington State had five possessions in the third quarter against California. And when you only get seven chances to score, blowing two scoring opportunities on interceptions (as Miami did) feels more like blowing four opportunities.
