Telfair was up 8-0 at the end of the first quarter and with 8:07 left in the second quarter the Vikings had a punt blocked with the Trojans picking the ball up at the 20-yard line.

They added the two-point conversion to make it 16-0. Later in the first half Qamar Jordan went in for a score, but the play was called back on a penalty.
