Turnover block UNLV’s quarterback decision after scrimmage
You can’t go wrong with a statistic that produced perfection.
You can’t make a better argument to your football team about how important a specific number is when all it does is generate wins.
For some time now, Tony Sanchez has reminded his UNLV players of this: Last season, Mountain West teams that were plus-3 or better in turnover margin were undefeated in those games.
Those that were plus-2 or better won 91 percent of the time.
“Those are things we need to make happen,” Sanchez said.
They can begin by taking care of the ball.
Flawless worlds don’t exist in most college programs, much less one from a non-Power 5 conference and that has managed just a single winning season since 2001.
