Question #10


On January 16th UND.com posted an article "20 Questions for Notre Dame Football for 2015".  This is question 10.

10. Notre Dame played cleanly early in 2014, then suffered from all kinds of turnover woes late in the year. The Irish only won the turnover battle four times all year (they were plus-eight in that category after the first three games) and not once from the Sept. 13 Purdue game until a turnover-free effort in the Music City Bowl against LSU. Can the Irish return to their mistake-free form in 2015?

Answer;

With Everett Golson having numerous fumbles and 14 interceptions in 2014 he will be the key to this answer.  Golson's interceptions increased as the season went on; September 2, October 4 and December 8.  It is kind of interesting if not ironic that the word "return" is used in the question as the previous seasons quarterback Tommy Rees was given the nickname "Tommy Turnover".

If Notre Dame cannot improve on their turnover issues (image if it actually go worse) any hopes of a successful season will not be likely.
