Mayfield very fortunate to be tied as Murray controlled the ball the majority of the half and held Mayfield to 1 1st half 1st down. The Cards got a break as a high snap over the Tiger QBs head was recovered by the Cards inside the 20 yard line where they were finally able to put a score on the board. Other than that play and the scoreboard, it's been pretty one-sided the Tigers way. Mayfield will get the ball 1st to start the 2nd half.
