How many points did the defense score? You can't win if you don't score points. And it's not like the turnovers gave us short fields. All of them happened on our side of the 50. The two Turnovers that led to scores were 56 and 61 yards.“ Great”? He was awful the vt game, you can’t be this biased or blind bro. VT had like 4-5 turnovers , I know he had a few picks and at least one fg. Rosier used his legs pretty good but his qb play was god awful. Thank god VT had a Fr qb that was even worse.
The d and turnovers won that game.
The takeaways alone is what made last year possible , it was an unreal amount. And you can’t depend d on thirty something turnovers yearly.
We had 4 scoring drives of 87, 69, 56, and 61 yards, with almost no run game outside of Homer's 1 long run and a lot of Rosier using his wheels to move the chains. He ran for 5 first downs in that game and ended with 84 yards rushing.
And there were 3 teams last season with as many or more turnovers forced than we did. It was not an "ungodly" amount. The 2001 Championship team forced 45 in 11 games, and NOBODY credits turnovers as the main reason they were successful.
