This won't end well....

In reading the article, it seems that the only thing he is unhappy with is our lack of creating turnovers this season. Not good. If you can't identify, acknowledge and properly address your issues / deficiencies, you will not solve them.

No one could tackle. It was frustrating to watch. This is on the defensive staff.

Turnovers are hard to come by when a guy catches a slant over the middle and no one is around to even two-hand touch him.

If a player catches a touchdown pass and there is no defender there to see it, is it really a touchdown.

HA!!!

If a player catches a touchdown pass and there is no defender there to see it, is it really a touchdown.

I know everything falls on the coaches shoulders in the end but if the DC makes the right call and the players keep
Blowing their assignment, at some point the players need to take responsibility for that. I heard it from players and coaches all season about guys playing for themselves and not doing their job. If everyone is always trying to be the hero, you will get a lot of blown assignments. Gerald commented it's hard to get guys to understand how to be gap sound at this level because a lot were dominant in high school and didn't need to be, they could overcome bad technique with raw power and skill.

Touchdowns are irrelevant. The game is all about the turnover battle.

We really did have a bad season then; we at least scored a touchdown or two!

The only skill that matters on a UL defense is creating turnovers. A really good apple turnover is delicious.

Cherry turnovers are very good too ... at least the first time.
