The Cowboys are not taking it back, and that leaves little margin for error for an OSU offense that needs it.
When we dug into Bryan Nardo this offseason, following his appointment as OSU defensive coordinator, one of the more enticing factors that we uncovered was his apparent knack for coaching up forced turnovers.
During his eight years at the helm of Emporia State, Nardo’s defense was one of the best in Div. II at forcing turnovers and was the only program to force 25-plus takeaways from 2012-16. In his single year at the helm of Gannon last season, his group forced a respectable 16.
