LIVE! UPDATE: SECOND QUARTER

Time: Halftime
Score: 27-10 Vandy
Play of the game so far: Chris Nickson answers Redhawk touchdown in the second quarter by slicing through the Redhawk D for a 59-yard run.
Other big plays:
48-yard pass from Nickson to Sean Walker. DJ Moore's interception, sack and 91-yard punt return.
Player of the game so far: Chris Nickson. He's got 122 yards rushing at halftime.
Surprise: Miami very sloppy late in the half with multiple penalties and a key dropped pass. Redhawks' vaunted linebackers no match for Nickson.
Disappointment: Vandy forces Redhawks to punt but have 12 men on the field and Miami gets a first down after the penalty. Ryan Hamilton drops an interception late in the half. Too much room in front of him. Jared Hawkins doesn't look like an SEC running back.

Notes:
• Broderick Stewart looks quick and gets a big sack. Redhawks can't contain him.
• Two straight holding penalties on the Redhawks. 2nd and 26 with 2:49 left in half.
• John Cole sees action with a punt return. First true freshman I've noticed in the game.
• Nickson rips off a 34-yard run on third down. He's unstoppable.
• A bad spot keeps Nickson from a first down with seconds left and deep in Miami territory.
• Hahnfeldt nails his second field goal.
