Let’s talk Turnovers and takeaways

[RBigredMax]

Through 4 games last year: 9 TO’s and 4 takeaways

Through 4 games this year: 3 TO’s and 6 takeaways.

Hopefully broadening that gap this weekend.

It's nice to see the offense taking care of the football.

Should win 3-4 more games than last year on that aspect alone

That’s too many to expect. There are other ways to lose games. We won the turnover battle against Illinois and still lost the game.

Yep. Better special teams and we would've beat Illinois.

I believe we already have one that we would’ve lost (did lose last year) and that’s Colorado. We’ll get some more of the close ones. I stand by 3-4.

3-4 more wins than last year is 8-4 or 9-3. Can only lose 2-3 games out of the final 8. Two of those games are likely losses just due to overall talent discrepancy. Hard to expect that we will win at least 5 of 6 tossup games with no ability to hit 25+ yard field goals and a defensive scheme that has apparently been solved. Even if we win the turnover battles.

our in-game coaching needs to get a lot better just to get to the point it's neutral

right now it's a liability

Yes, we have been losing the penalty battle.

1 of the INT's this year was an incredible play by the DB . I put that on the WR but it was still an INT.

Could argue both of them. 🤓

Hopefully broadening that gap against Rutgers!

Nice job Huskers!!!
