In the past two weeks, the Ole Miss defense has been trod upon for 618 total rushing yards, a number so staggering that the 2011 Tyrone Nix defense just did a double take, followed by a triple take. Throw in the 334 and 200 rushing yards the Rebels surrendered against Alabama and Arkansas, respectively, and you’ve got a total of 1,152 rushing allowed against four SEC West teams.
Because the defense fails to stop the run, they can’t get off the field and they give up explosive plays (both run and pass). Combined, those two things mean the yards and points are going to pile up for the opposing offense.
