After going 6-7 despite having the most sacks in FBS (3.54 per game) and the 3rd most TFLs in FBS (8.54 per game), CTG began to focus on takeaways as a point of focus and a talking point with the media.
In 2015 ASU was tied for 59th-67th in FBS in takeaways with 21/1.62 per game (15 INTs and 6 fumble recoveries).
Meanwhile ASU was tied for 51st-60th in turnovers with 19/1.46 per game (9 INTs lost and 10 fumbles lost).
Tied for 51st-57th in Turnover Margin at +2
In 2016 ASU is currently tied for 49th-65th in takeaways with 9/1.5 per game (7 INTs & 2 fumble recoveries)
Tied for 87th-100th in turnovers with 10/1.67 per game (4 fumbles lost & 6 INTs)
70th in Turnover Margin at -1
So we have gotten worse in takeaways, worse in turnovers and therefore obviously worse in turnover margin.
So the focus in the press conference after the game was the high number of sacks (5) and TFLs (9) vs UCLA
