1. I've compared our turnovers & penalties from the first five games of 2005 to the first five games of 2004. Interesting results.

    2004 2005

    Turnovers 12 15

    Penalties 29 54

    Fairly close on the number of turnovers, but the difference in penalties is amazing. Almost a 100% increase compared to 2004. That's a negative trend that should have Les and the coaching staffs immediate attention. It's got to stop or it's going to cost us one or more losses.

  2. did those stats include points off turnovers?

    and what about the last two games? go back and check the 2004 games to see if they were spread out or if they all occured in a couple of games.
