Tracking 2010 Turnovers -- Updated Thru ND

Submitted by Enjoy Life on

I’ve added a summary for each player.

Synopsis: An excellent game as far as turnovers! Only 1 fumble by DR and no lost fumbles. No passes intercepted and 3 interceptions made.

Just as in the UConn game, turnovers were a significant factor in the win. The +3 TOM was certainly counteracted by all those penalties (8 for -99 yards)making this game a lot closer than it should have been.

 Remember here are the correlations of TOM to WLM at season’s end:

TOM is a significant contributing factor in determining the WLM.

90% of teams with a positive TOM of 5.0 or greater had winning records
84% of teams with positive TOM had winning records
Only 41% of teams with negative TOM had winning records
Only 28% of teams with a negative TOM of -5 or worse had winning records

62% of teams with a positive TOM of 5.0 or greater had WLM of +4 or better (8-4 record or better)
38% of teams with a TOM of 0 to +4.0 had a WLM of 4 or better
Only 25% of teams with a TOM 0 to -4.0 had a WLM of +4 or better
Only 8% of teams with a negative TOM of -5 or worse had WLM of +4 or better

To think if we were as disciplined as we were against UConn we probably would have won by at least 10-14 points.  Really great to have not turned the ball over yet, hopefully that will be a continued trend as the season goes on.  Great work sir, thanks for the diary.

Yes, it is also true that blocked punts and even an on-side kick are NOT considered turnovers. I kinda get the blocked punt (the other team was going to get the ball with the punt) but the on-side kick baffles me -- is it because the offense never had possession?
