I appreciated Trevor matich’s honesty about the weakness of the team

Only close game was SMU? Baylor would like to have a word

C-dubb

5:14am

SMU is the only game I was worried about losing at any point in the 4th quarter.

Baylor was down by 6 with the ball and had put together some great drives

Not to me. I never had any doubt.

I was sweating it out

Turnovers have not really won a single game so it’s a moot point - they have

ABCoug

Against Baylor we couldn’t buy a stop without the last minute turnover

Heath Squashwell

7:33am

Except for that 4th down stop a few minutes earlier... Also it was 2nd & 20

SoBlueitHurts

12:59pm

Yeah Baylor would have been dicey but had it been closer earlier probably

ABCoug

Turnovers have put teams behind and led to short fields

Here is the issue with his logic

ordinary tri guy

6:04am

3rd down percentage is not related to TO though, and he is right that we need

Jarhead

6:50am

I agree but ARod has said multiple times that in 3rd the play calling may

ordinary tri guy

11:03am

3rd down becomes less relevant if you go for it on 4th down and get a first.

boctabulous

11:34am

Didn’t we have several 3 and outs as well?

Brigham

7:05am

This is why TOP is a dumb metric that doesn’t tell the story and isn’t

DescdentCoug

All true, but you have to get the turnover “first”….easier said than done.

Turnovers this year seem to be more a byproduct of the system than

The thing we are still missing is a run game that, when the defense knows it’s

6:43am

Run game with our best guys was very good against AZ.

Yeah I think our YPC is decent this year, just waiting for that game where we

Yep...definitely still need to prove it but there are some good signs. I think

Lifer

7:48am

Yep. This has been the biggest issue imo. But now we are healthy at RB

boctabulous

Hard to see turnovers slowing down.

Jay_L

In the CCG or a playoff game I think an opponent will likely limit TOs

Sounds good to me.

boctabulous

11:36am

He's absolutely right.

Genghis Spreads

7:53am

While I agree, a good defense makes me much more comfortable than a good offense

Brandoblueblood

8:10am

2 things impact that: an aggressive D trades TOs, sacks, hurries for higher 3rd

NYC and Japan

8:18am

Hopefully the defense gets fewer TOs so the offense can get a chance to improve

Great38

8:19am

I wish CFB had a "points off turnovers" stat like basketball

MaximusMeridius

10:24am

the big thing I think we've missed in analysis is experience of the qb's

conetah

10:27am

I agree, especially on defensive stops on 3rd down. Against AZ we struggled

morningcalmcougar

10:32am

Very interesting. I point out the same truth and catch hate. I 100% agree

CT98

10:41am

I was thinking that. You got roasted for saying basically the same thing LOL

Lifer

10:44am

He used the last 5 minutes of the game as his basis though. The last 5 minutes

YbeatsU

10:57am

This

boctabulous

11:37am

Really the last 20 minutes

SoBlueitHurts

1:01pm

He did not say the same thing, based on the last 5 mins of the Arizona game

byublue42

11:48am

The Utes lived off turnovers for years

12:04pm

The 2002-2003 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 2000-2001 Baltimore Ravens would like a word.

Brisket

Or Iowa

True but...

Big12Yfan

12:44pm

Totally agree with him. It’s fun to watch but it’s eventually going to catch up

Blew

1:27pm

A reason to be optimistic, Against Arizona BYU had scoring drives of 75, 99, 54, and 75 yards. The 99 was off a turnover

PJMort

1:31pm

Do agree here. Looking forward to a running game in the redzone to help finish

ReggaeCoug

In addition to this the ESPN stats are actually wrong with the number of 3rd

byublue42

3:33pm

I worry about playing conference away games.

Srg

1:44pm

The good news is their QB is terrible and vs Utah stayed man entire game

He's absolutely right. The mental gymnastics by people saying otherwise is funny

Can't disagree with him. Gotta sustain drives, consistenly.
