1 INT
4 fumbles
1 by downs

Opposing team has scored a TD on 4 of the 6 subsequent drives and a FG on another 1.

Definitely seems like our defense has bouncing back issues after a turnover.

Yep. Has nothing to do with field position or momentum.

I'm curious if you know the location of most of these turnovers. Sometimes the defense really doesn't have many opportunities to stop the score.

I know at least one (Blue fumble against TCU) was practically on our own goal line, so it is hard for the defense to do much there. On the flip side the turnover on downs was on Auburn's goal line and we let them drive the length of the field.

At least 3 of those turnover gave opposing teams the ball in their redzone. Can't blame that on the defense.

just got to hold on to the ball.

1 int is amazing.

the other backs need to just hold on

field position


Auburn drove 96 yards for a TD after our turnover on downs and 50 yards for a TD after the INT

The TCU fumble was a very short field for their TD, the other TD was by UAB and was a 41 yard drive.

So not really field position as far as the TDs go.

momentum


Kind of covered that with the "bouncing back" part. Momentum obviously shifts when a turnover happens, but if a defense bounces back and makes a stop, well, i'll let you figure it out from there.

I think you meant in our redzone and I'll repeat that 3 of their 4 TDs after our turnovers have been on long drives, not nearly starting in our redzone.
