🏈 While looking at UK, I noticed something I hadn't really considered about the Tide this year...

...and that is, the lack of turnovers.

Against VT, we had two—Greg's INT and Roy's fumble.

Since then, we've only had one more turnover and that was against N. Texas when Greg "fumbled" on the first snap of the game. (yah, still wonder about that call a bit.)

Putting that in perspective, out of the 120 teams in FBS (Div. 1 play) only six of them have fewer turnovers on the year.

In the SEC, Arkansas and LSU have three as well.

South Carolina has four.

Auburn and Kentucky have five.

Ole Miss has six (as does Florida considering the likelihood we'll see them in ATL)

FWIW, some of you guys would have to take off your shoes to count the number Tennessee has on the year so far. :lol:

If there was no forward motion on the ball, it wouldnt have went forward. I dont count that call.

Or else that fumble had the most hangtime in the history of fumbles.

We dont seem to be getting alot of turnovers either, so I am glad they are holding on to the football.

Yes and last week the questions were all about creating turnovers, well preventing them is just as important if not more.

Yep. The backs are doing a fantastic job of protecting the ball, the o-line is giving McElroy plenty of time to throw, and he's making the right decisions.
