Syracuse Football: Orange On Pace for Best Turnover Margin Since 2006

If you remember anything about the 2006 Syracuse Orange football team, it's probably the dreaded Iowa game. Like the 2015 iteration of the Orange, that SU team also started the season 3-2 (though 0-2, followed by three straight wins). And also like the 2015 Syracuse team, the 2006 team forced a lot more turnovers than their opponents committed.

In 2006, despite a disappointing 4-8 record in GERG's second year, the Orange had a plus-11 (!!!) turnover margin (28 for vs. 17 against). This year's team, with two games to go, has the best mark since then: plus-4 (19 for, 15 against).
