Turnovers are the only reason we aren't undefeated. We haven't even been able to get field goals on some of these drives where we make it most of the way down the field. Obviously you would prefer TD's, but settling for a field goal is still way better than turning it over and getting nothing. And that would've made a difference in both of the last two games for us. If you merely replace these pick sixes and interceptions deep in opponent territory with field goals then we are sitting at 3-0. Turn those plays into TD's and we win both games comfortably.
If it's not there, don't force it. If it is there, hit the open receiver. I realize that the zone makes things more of a grind for this offense, and the o-line play has to get better too, but just executing the little things will go a long way.
We're 1-2 and have looked awful our last two games, and yet I still feel like every game other than Georgia and Bama is winnable the rest of the way if we just protect the ball better.
