Turnover margin is biggest issue

With this team. We are losing this battle, therefore, we have a loss and two poor second half performances.
We use to be able to create turnovers. However, the last several years our defense hasn't created many.
We gave up points twice due to fumbles. Yet, until the last series, we didn't get the ball from the other team with an opportunity to score.
Championship defenses score point for their team. Championship offense doesn't give up points with turnovers.
This is the biggest issue, not offensive scheme

What about Wiskey. The defense scored and put the offense on a short field for a score. Last night the defense did secure victory in the end.

Dropped interceptions are a BIG issue. We drop like 3 a game

How is this a BIG issue? If the DBs were supposed to catch passes they'd be WRs. Yes it would be great to have 3 or more interceptions every game but the DBs dropping interceptions is not a BIG issue. I'm more concerned about them letting WRs get wide open sometimes. But they're moving in the right direction.

Yes, what was the turnover margin? (In Wisconsin game)Didn't the offense turn the ball over in scoring position?
Lsu 3 Wisconsin 2. Win turnover margin, win the gam.

Officially, the turnover margin in this game was 1-1. Honestly, I'm not that concerned about it. Turnovers tend to be luck rather than skill, and unless Fournette is going to start fumbling twice a game, it's not a huge concern for the offense going forward. Yeah, I'd like the defense to catch those picks, but interception rate from pass breakups is pretty consistent across the SEC. Break up passes, you'll get some picks eventually. Keep doing that.
