Passing Defenses faced by Murray last year - Army (21), Bama (33), TCU (37), Iowa St (72), FAU (79), Baylor (83) UCLA (88), Kansas St (91), Kansas (92), WVA (106), Texas (110) twice, OSU (118), Texas Tech (129) - an average of 83.5 over 14 games
I would have loved to face that schedule.
We had UF (13), Iowa (17), UK (18), LT (28), Bama (33), LSU (38), UL (55), AU (58), UPig (87), KSU (91), A&M (98), OM (111) and SFA (FCS). An average of 52.8 over 12 games.

"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

It seems like if you want to believe Murray will fail, you can find evidence that. If you want to believe Murray will succeed, you can find evidence to support that. Just to be clear, anyone making definitive statements either way is selectively choosing which evidence they want to ignore.

I think that gap narrows a little bit if you remove Oklahoma from the teams they faced (improves their passing D rankings) and remove us from the teams we faced (hurts their passing D rankings). Does it make things equal? No, but it would give a better full picture. though offenses in the big 12 sling it more than the sec so inherently their total passing D numbers will be worse, so probably the best way to determine the difference is look at per play results when the games are still competitive (however that's defined but there's guidelines used to account for that in statistical analysis at both college and nfl levels) with both Oklahoma and MSU removed from their opponents' equations. That gives a better idea while minimizing the effects of the disparity of the 2 teams being comparing, the style of play, and blowouts going either way.
