No, you didn't.

A ballhawk defense that gets lots of picks and forces fumbles can take credit for playing good defense.

The turnovers KSU gave you were GIFTS. you had almost nothing to do with it. high schoolers could have come up with those balls just as easily.

KSU Defense failed to come up with the ball when it was given similar opportunities at the end of the game. But KSU was getting tackles for loss and no gain all day.

KSU made Auburn punt 5 times, Auburn made KSU punt 3 times. Auburn gave up two touchdowns and 3 field goal opportunities. KSU gave up two touchdowns and 2 field goal opportunities.

You got the win. hostile environment. KSU more prepared, you won anyway. you should be happy about no part of your team's actual performance.

Auburn was 4th in the nation in ints/game (2 per game) going into Manhattan.

Not true on all the turnovers. TR's int was a good play by TR on a ball that was forced due to d-line pressure. Were the dropped balls by AU receivers, at least one of which was going for a TD, not gifts?

So that means they were better on Defense than us because they didn't take advantage of opportunities? That is a weird way to determine it.

And AU wasn't? I'm pretty sure we had more sacks and tackles for loss.

Because we turned them over. Sure, a couple of them were gifts, but so were a couple of our punts.

D played solid and showed improvement. All I said is that our defense was better than KSU's last night. I didn't say I was happy with our performance.
