I've been informed that the answer to this question was inadvertently posted early. Though the answer was subsequently removed, there is a possibility that some players saw the answer before it was removed, thus gaining an unfair advantage. For that reason, everyone who submits an answer to this question, whether it agrees with the official answer or not, will get credit for a correct response. (Ole Miss will, of course, get credit as the submitter of the question.)
