You could say we are lucky with all these turnovers, but...

you gotta give our guys credit for recovering them. I remember in 2009, UCLA fumbled 6 times, but we just couldn't recover the fumbles. Our guys are hustling and swarming to the ball on defense. Shy Tuttle is also a beast.

Yes, they did, by recovering the ball. They have been lucky that Va Tech fumbled the last 2 though (muffed punt and the center over the head).

I saw Vickers strip the ball. That's called causing a turnover....

I will take all the luck we can get.

How lucky was it when a 300 lb DT outran their QB to recover the fumble?

Exactly.

Luck was not involved with most of the TOs. Most were forced and the ones that weren't were recovered because we hustled.

Did you read my post at all?

:no:

abernathy recovered 3 of the fumbles tonight.

That wasn't one of the turnovers I was referring to. I was talking about the muffed punt that hit the Va Tech player in the back and the snap over the head of the QB. Those were terrible Va Tech miscues, but our boys hustled to the ball, unlike in years' past (2009 UCLA for example).

Exactly what I was going to say..it's not like they just gave us the ball..they were all good plays by our defense..causing and then recovering them.

I also find it interesting that Tennessee has now fumbled the ball 6 times, but has only lost it once. Some may want to call it luck. However I believe it is something the team is coached. The reason we haven't lost many fumbles is because our players are coached to follow the play so as to be prepared to "clean up" these fumbles. It's paying huge dividends so far this year.

Not an accident Hurd fell on the ball last week, or Tuttle this week. Flat out hustle. Looks like luck but isn't.

NO way! You create turnovers and make your own luck. We limited mistakes and they didn't. That's part of the game, as important as throwing or catching or running! I'll take it and move on! We won and on to the next game!
