Miami<\/a><\/strong> led Florida<\/a><\/strong> 7-3 after the first quarter of action in the Swamp, but the lead could have been bigger if not for a costly mistake from quarterback Cam Ward<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Backed up into his own end of the field, Ward made a critical mistake when he threw back across his body and was picked off by Florida linebacker Shemar James<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell you know we were trying to make something happen on the run, ball got out behind him, behind the receiver,\u201d coach Mario Cristobal<\/a><\/strong> said on the ABC broadcast. \u201cGot tipped, got picked off. They\u2019re doing a nice job in coverage of mixing up the looks. We\u2019ve got to do a good job establishing ourselves at the line of scrimmage and then go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Florida\u2019s drive following the interception stalled, forcing the Gators to settle for a 41-yard field goal from kicker Trey Smack<\/a><\/strong>. That cut the deficit to 7-3.<\/p>\n

But Miami mostly dominated the first quarter, particularly in the trenches.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes boasted a 93-57 edge in total yardage after the first quarter, rushing for 59 yards. At an average clip of 6.6 yards per carry, Miami was able to move the chains repeatedly on the ground, while Florida could not. The Gators averaged just 3.0 yards per carry in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

Cam Ward was a big part of that rushing success, too. He got loose a couple times on scrambles to hurt Florida and extend drives. Florida also had a costly third-down penalty after coming up with a stop in the red zone, allowing Miami to get a fresh set of downs and eventually punch it in for a touchdown.<\/p>\n
