The statistical rankings for the Southern Miss defense a year ago painted a confusing picture.
The Golden Eagles ranked 15th in the nation in total defense (324.8 ypg), but stood 74th in scoring defense (29.3).
Those two stats don’t quite add up, but they make more sense when you consider USM ranked 124th in the nation in turnovers lost — 32. If your defense is consistently put in a bad position, the more points it will allow.
