Fumbles

This needs to be corrected quickly by our rb's. These have been huge momentum killers for us. If cut out the turnovers last night I think we wear down KU, and win a little more comfortably. At least not in overtime.

It seems like the rest of the game is where it is at, if the running game can become a little more stable I think we will be fine.

 
Hopefully it's an adjustment they can make with how the RBs carry the ball. One year under Coach Solich when genious (not) Gillespie was RB coach the team was one of the national leaders in fumbles. Then in the off season watching film Coach Solich noticed how the players were holding the ball. (Why he couldn't notice it during the season is another story.) Adjustments were made and the fumble totals the next season dropped drastically. Like making adjustments to a pitcher's mechanics maybe some film study will prove helpful.

 
Do you think it is because they are all battling for position and trying "extra hard" to earn some PT. Which in turn is leading to more fumbles??? Or beacuse not a single back gets a bulk of the carries, they aren't used to holding on to the rock???
