and it would have been 10 if we had not pulled the starting D. they got a garbage time td. auburn got 8 garbage points. old miss got 24 points directly off 5 turnovers, 4 of which were already in field goal range. 14 points were score on a fluke miracle play and an illegal pass. ole miss 4/14 on 3rd down(one of these was the fluke td), punted 5 times. they were completely unable to move the ball on bama when forced to drive the field. here is a recap of their scoring drives

4 plays 2 yards FG (followed fumbled kickoff)
6 plays 26 yards TD (followed interception)
3 plays 18 yards TD (followed fumbled kickoff)
5 plays 87 yards TD (66 on fluke td)
9 plays 49 yards FG
7 plays 51 yards FG
2 plays 82 yards TD ( 73 on illegal play)
2 plays 31 yards (followed interception)

ole miss scored 2 field goals when they actually had to drive. that loss was not on the D, they played great, gave the offense multiple chances to win

if you take out the auburn garbage time 8, the ohio state pick 6, the wisconsin garbage time td, and the points ole miss was gifted you get 21.75 points per game on the D

btw, if you take away fluke td and ineligible receiver downfield/offensive pass interferrence td, chad kelly was 16 for 31, 202 yards and 1 TD instead of 18 for 33, 341 yards and 3 TDs. the first one is much more indicative of how effective he was
