I read a comment where a poster predicted we wouldn't be as good this season because we wouldn't cause/create as many turnovers. It got me thinking, will we?
We caused 31 turnovers last year - 14 fumble recoveries and 17 interceptions. For reference, we lost 4 fumbles and threw 14 INTs, for a +15 margin - good for (t) 5th in the nation.
While my initial gut feeling was "no, we have to go down," I am not so sure. Assuming no changes to the style and playcalling, there is no reason the aggression shouldn't continue to cause TOs. Conversely, it leaves us suspect to gaps, holes, big plays, etc. But I, and many others here, would prefer to err on the side of aggression (a byproduct of the D'Nof years).
What does everyone think? Will we continue at our current pace, or will it come back to earth a little?
