Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Turnovers

This team is 5-1 with a +15 turnover margin. One giveaway all year. I think that's what "taking care of the details" means, for both the offense and defense.

    Somewhat misleading because of the four exhibitions, but I like it a lot.

    Well coached teams eventually start doing what they're coached to do. Turnovers are a big emphasis point and it's the first big improvement the team made.

    +6 in 2 games vs. Pac-12 competition

    Why I said somewhat. Should be 2-0 with that turnover margin.

    Which is an ever so slighty better rate than in the scrimmages.

    The freshman FS almost had a pick and a nice return. He has been near the ball a few times but I'm not sure he has a t/o yet? I have really been impressed with a few of the new guys in the back 4 and the punt returner (until today). I'm sure Coach will get him dialed into making better choices on the returns or letting the ball go when it lands @ the 10 yard line.

    Pettis made two mistakes today. They were his first. Not saying it's OK but he's only a freshman and looks 81 times better at returning punts than anyone we've had since my memory gets foggy around 2000.

    Charles Frederick?

    He had an 87 yard punt return for TD in 2001 and a 86 yard punt return for TD in 2003. Last Husky to return a punt for a score.

    Yeah that's right I forgot about him. He was good at it too. Last one though.
