Turnover Margin OSU vs NU last since 2004

[huskerhomie]

I apologize ahead of time for the formatting, if someone wants to format it better, it would be nice. I did a comparison from 2004 to 2014 the Ending season turnover margin comparison between Oregon State (under Riley) and NU under Bo and Callahan. The results were pretty staggering.

The skinny: In the 10 years I did the numbers, 8 times during that span Oregon State was either Even (1 year) or Plus in turnovers (7 times) during that span. Nebraska on the other hand we were only even 1 time and plus 1 time during that same 10 year span. Oregon States ending season turnover margin ranking was 53rd, while Nebraskas end of season rank was: 80th.

Again apologize for the formatting:
