Fumbles

[1HuskrFan]

Taylor's fumbles are an issue, but IMO, they are the least of our issues. We score enough points to win games. Its just unfortunate the opponent was able to score more to defeat what our offense was able to do. Fumbles need to be cleaned up, then maybe we wouldn't have closer games, but I don't know one game this year Taylor actually costed us. Some may argue the Georgia game, but after Ameer's fumble, Taylor was just trying to put us back in the game by throwing. Throwing against a stingy Georgia secondary. If our DB's didn't have to be accountable for the run as much as they had to this year, you would have seen even a stronger/tougher secondary. Taylor has won us more games this year than costed us.

 

As for the OP's question, "but i wonder what it take to limit them?"

My closest guess is the further these guys mature, the less they will fumble. Our RB's and Kick Returner's are young. Taylor has no excuse, but its just Taylor and how he has been since day one. We were just lucky his RS Freshman year he was able to recover most of them.

 

 

TMart's turnovers are one of the top issues. He's spotting competing offenses with good field position and easy points on a regular basis. Your QB just can't turnover the ball on such a frequent basis if you want to be serious about competing with the big boys.

 

Yes, he has won us more games than he has cost, but he's still costing us games with this nonsense.

AMEN

And yet he still wasn't the biggest factor in us losing games this year.

We lost games because our defense was a sieve, not because Martinez had fumbilitis.

 

The turnovers don't help, obviously. It's a team wide issue that needs to be rectified.

It's the offseason... Probably other things to worry about right now, but the only way to cut down on fumbles is to concentrate on taking care of it by keeping the ball high and tight. Something that our RBs don't seem to concentrate on.
