College football analyst Phil Steele’s favorite catch-phrase has held true for the Kansas football team this year: Turnovers equals turnaround.
Through three weeks, KU leads the nation in turnover margin ... and it’s not close. The Jayhawks’ plus-12 margin is four(!) ahead of the next-best teams, with Fresno State and North Texas both well behind at plus-eight.
Here’s something else: KU has 13 takeaways, marking the first time that any FBS school has registered that high of a number in its first three games since 2014.
This pace isn’t sustainable, and obviously some of it is good fortune.
