Temple = 31.44 penalty yards per game (#6 out of 130)
Washington 77.44 penalty yards per game (#129 out of 130)

ITs aLL abOUt tHe coRChing!!!
 
16 turnovers in 5 games. 12 for Van Golfer, 1 on a goal line fumble by Parrish and 1 by Chaney which should have never happened in the first place.
 
Penalties are mental mistakes. A coach can decide how many mistakes he is willing to accept before pulling kids who produce too many mental mistakes. Mario clearly needs to lower the threshold.

That's a slippery slope. If the guy who is committing penalties also lights up any ball carrier who enters his space, you live with a few penalties.

The penalties are absorbable. There are many, many, many historical data points of very good football teams being ranked towards the bottom of the league in penalties.

Turnovers are a completely different discussion. Almost no teams ever have significantly negative turnover margins and win a lot of games. I'm not saying I'm happy with the penalties, but IMO the penalties are about a 3/10 concern while the turnovers are a 10/10, or worse. We're at DEFCON 1 with the turnovers.

If we are at DEFCON 1 with turnovers (I agree) then the only solution right now is to make a QB change ASAP.

TVD is broken. It can only get worse.

So as a coaching staff, you have to show your team that you will change things up.

We aren’t the only one’s looking at this. The players are the one reallyyyyyyyy looking closely at this.

That is also a slippery slope on the other side when a player isn't lighting up the other team like TVD with turnovers or K Smith with penalties on ST.

Not just the players already on campus. Those not on campus could be more important than the ones already here.
 
I hear you that it is a team stat, however it should be noted that most of these interceptions are not due to pressure. O line has done its part. RB's have done theres. WR's have dropped very few balls. Im definitely putting the majority of the blame on the QB and the coaches.

Miami is now 126th in the nation in turnovers. Terrible for any team, poison for a team that is trying to run the ball and play complementary football.

And this is not to blame one player- it is a team stat that falls on the players and coaches.

Can someone do a turnover per player lookup and then we can decide who to blame.

You are arguing against a point I never made. Yes you can win in spite of penalties. You can also win in spite of turnovers. The point is they both fall on the coaches. Never allow anything in a win you wouldn't allow in a loss. The coaches should be correcting both issues with either personnel changes or diciplinary actions. I don't understand the disagreement.

Oh, of course. But coaches who sit guys for penalties - period - are possibly putting some really good players on the bench.
