The trouble with turnovers

Over the past two games, Clemson has dominated every facet of play against both Georgia Tech and Boston College—except for one.

Head Coach Dabo Swinney has lamented his team’s inability to win the turnover margin on both occasions in his postgame press conference, sounding the alarm about the danger of allowing other teams to have extra possessions within a football game. The Tigers beat the Yellow Jackets and Eagles by a combined 36 points, but Swinney does not want to keep playing with fire.

His defensive coordinator agrees.

“There’s not a better stat that’s more telling in winning and losing and more profound,” Brent Venables said.
