certainly there are unforced errors, but what may seem like a random botch may be the result of a mis-read of a defensive shift, for example. Even if the error is completely unforced, you still have to make the effort to recover the ball...the turnover margin is a nice improvement over last year, and our advantage of Georgia in this category could make a difference in the game.

Or maybe that back was such a cocky shite that he got so pumped up that he didn't concentrate and think and made a mistake. They were about to score if you didn't know.

well at least UGA gives a lot of "gifts" away. I can't believe this fool is actually trying to argue this. Teams make errors on every level of football. The turnover margin shows who forces the most and commits few.

I agree. But dont blame another teams erroe on the fact that the opposing team "was on the field."

Really? go watch that absurd fumble by the back from UW. It was a bad hand off. Not forced by us. Did either of you ever play football or really understand the game?
I'm sure your years of pee-wee have instilled a technical understaning of the nuances of the game that few can grasp.
You're right, every play is the result of luck. LSU sucks. Every play that MSU had (including by the way, the errant snap) was the result of their superior skills.
I am also pretty sure an LSU guy got on the ball faster than a UW player could.

LSU beating MSU 4-0 in the turnover battle really blew that game open...
Didn't blow it open, but I don't think we would have liked the result if we did not get those turnovers.

any turnover is a gift

No shite but if it's not forced then its a gift. What the frick is so hard to understand?

1) They are always forced
2) You still have to grab the ball

I'm goin with DollaChoppa on this one. LSU did wear down MSU's offensive line and running backs, maybe even intimidated the running back. FWIW, the running back lost focus on receiving the hand off probably because he was too focused on where to go as soon as the ball was hiked. (i.e. lacking confidence in his line). Then to top it off, LSU got the loose ball. That is no gift. LSU forced the fumble through wearing them down and getting inside their heads, and then we recovered the loose ball. Again, no gift.
