118th in turnover margin (-1.25)...right ahead of the Tar Heels. I'm convinced that the following play will inevitably occur during the State/Carolina game: a player on one team picks off a pass, only to fumble the ball back to the other team during the return.

Only one team in the nation has fewer takeaways than we do: Fresno State. Freakin' Louisiana-Monroe has 25 turnovers gained, and we're stuck on six. Why do you torture us so, football gods? I beseech you! What have we done to deserve such a paucity of takeaways?
