WKU struggling with negative turnover margin

Western Kentucky used turnovers to its advantage last year at one of the nation’s best rates.

One season later, that crucial part of the game has gone the other way.

The Hilltoppers have recorded just six takeaways this year while giving the ball away 10 times. That average turnover margin of -0.67 per game puts WKU (3-3 overall, 1-1 Conference USA) in a tie with Fresno State and Iowa State at No. 107 out of 128 FBS teams.

These numbers come after the Toppers ranked No. 4 in the nation last year with a turnover margin of +1.
