The number one reason we sit at 2 and 5 is turnovers? I'm not an expert, but I would have bet big bucks that our poor play in just about every area had more to do with it than just turnovers. Have to admit, this left me confused.

I would say a win against Kentucky and the season would have a whole different flavor with perhaps only one loss.

A couple extra turnovers vs Kentucky and Louisiana probably wins.

Damn... We lost another game? Oh and our RB's get their first fumble Saturday.

Or just pure fundamentals

Yes coach, it is about dynamic offenses and defenses. That's what leads to turnovers. A speech doesn't get it done. Good luck.

Fumbles come from poor technique on the ball carrier, poor weather and hard hits/stripping from the defense. Too much focus on the stripping/hitting leads to poor tackling. Focusing on "producing fumbles" is a fool's errand. Make the dang tackle.

Interceptions come from poor QB play, pressure on the QB, and a ball hawking secondary. It's pretty hard to have a ball hawking secondary with new schemes and new players, especially when you're getting no pressure up front.

You can not manufacture turnovers at will.

This guy looks stoned, but shows how Tillman forced 4 fumbles in a game.

He wouldn't fumble his crickets?
