didn't taylor only have like 3-4 picks?
Yeah, against OU. He threw three picks and had a fumble in that game alone. He wasn't bad during the regular season but the picks he threw came at very bad times, both in terms of field position and momentum/score of the games.
Fumbles were a major issue last year and cost us some very big games, most notably Texas and Auburn, (we fumbled 25 times last year and lost 70% of them to the other team while only recovering only 40% of the ones we forced) dropped passes, especially a large number on second and third down cost us drives and botched punt/kick returns cost us field position way too often.
