re: Alabama: 5 yards per play/Ole Miss 6.7 yards per play

OM caused 1 of those 5 turnovers. The two ST fumbles were not stripped. They just coughed up the ball. Two of the three interceptions went right to a defensive back when there were no WRs around. Only one of those turnovers was forced and that was the last turnover of the game.

Bottom line. We lost. And the fact that we only lost by 6 after coughing the ball up 5 times is a testament to just how good we are. Ole Miss will lose at least 3 games this year.

This is hilarious.

Helmet to football is taught and is a skill. A turnover caused by a defender placing his helmet on the football is a play of skill and a forced fumble by any definition.

The other INTs:

Bateman: Was hurried by two guys in the backfield. He had one OM defender in front of him which caused him to loft the ball more than he wanted to. This pressure from OM lead to the first INT.

Coker: His first INT came from the OM linebacker playing zone and jumping the route. Otherwise, the receiver was open and it would've been a gain of 7-10 yards for an easy first down.

Coker: Second INT came from basically being sacked and throwing the ball up. The throw was short from the contact, the OM CB read it and broke off his man to come back for the INT.

That's 4 caused turnovers.
