Info taken from a post on Scout BTW
Game, total yards, turnovers)
WKU: 385, 3
UGA: 400, 3
APSU: 541, 2
Ole Miss: 322, 0
MTSU: 414, 3
USCe: 332, 5
1st half average: 399ypg, 2.67topg
Mizzou: 304, 1
Houston: 185,4
UF: 175, 0
UK: 301, 2 (both fumbles)
A&M: 148, 1
2nd half average: 222.6ypg 1.6topg
I'm sure its something that we all noticed but after the SC & especially Houston games there was a philosophical shift that took place with the offense to try and limit turnovers. At the halfway mark in the season VU actually ranked 51st nationally in total O (hard to believe now with our 119th ranking). Currently VU sits at 118th in turnovers lost with 24, after 6 games featuring 16 turnovers the only team in the nation with more was Maryland if I remember correctly.
Was the decision made to go too conservative? Probably but if we were looking at the offense from a yardage production stand point 6 weeks ago we might have taken a different look
