Big reason we had 9 wins. Don’t see many teams 6-6 or less that dominate turnover margin.

Sort of impressive, but sort of indicative of the style of play we are use to.. I much rather score more touchdowns if that meant a few more turnovers.

LSU only had 8 turnovers, but it didn't matter much.

Let's look at the top teams

UGA had 16 turnovers
Clemson had 16 turnovers
Alabama had 10 turnovers
Oklahoma had 13 turnovers
UCF had 15 turnovers and lost no games

I really loathe too much dependence on not turning the ball because you don't score that much.

yea I'm watching the A&M game too

They look good. It'll be a good matchup come Thanksgiving time

edit: For some context for those of you seeing this kind of late, this stat was shown on the SEC Network ticker during the game where they were listing previews for notable games coming up on Saturday. LSU/Miami was on there; Miami's factoid was they had their best season since 2003 last year, while LSU had the fewest turnovers in FBS. Obviously ours is a better stat

It’s sucks that we had 4 vs 1 team.

Danny has some Alex Smith in him. Sneaky athletic and protects the ball.
