Sigh...

What can be done about the rash of turnovers?

"We need to hold each other accountable," Evans said. "It can't just be the coaches. It's got to come from within.

"We have to make sure we don't make the same mistakes that the last two or three years would keep us from winning games and keep us out of bowls."

We are on some kind of pace right now:

       TO_Lost   Rk    TO/G
2001     13       3     1.2
2002     24      43     1.7
2003     19      21     1.5
2004     32     113     2.9
2005     24      75     2.0
2006     23      56     1.9
2007     18     116     3.6

As reluctant as I am to give up on Beck at this point, if we're going to slow the bleeding, that's probably the place to start. Beck's averaging an interception thrown for every 16 pass attempts. Evans averaged a pick per 28 attempts last year, and is averaging one per 25 this season.

Three of the four I-A opponents we've faced have averaged more than 5.0 yards per carry, and all four have averaged better than 4.5 YPC.
