If we have had problems fumbling the ball during the season, I would agree that either the players are not getting or coaches are not emphasizing it enough. But we are one of the best in the nation protecting the ball. We were tied for 5th in the nation prior to last night. That is great coaching and players taking pride. You had a true freshman backup QB play nearly the entire rivalry game. That was not bad coaching. That was bad circumstance
