Additionally, Auburn had a number of blown opportunities such as the Ricardo Louis wide open TD catch early on


Wide open opportunities aren't quite the same as field goals. Lots of things a defense does can affect a QB and prevent him from making a pass to a wide open receiver. There's a lot more that goes into a TD than an open receiver. Moreover, Marshall has been a below-average passer all year long. You could probably have that same play happen ten times and he may miss the pass half the time. So it wasn't as bizarre as you make it sound.

a TD pass that hits a wide open receiver in the hands is a lot worse than a missed fg
