"Most games on this level, are lost, not won."-Dick Vermiel
I think this statement is true, turnovers are a huge factor in the outcome of a game, and I think the offense is more at fault for a turnover, rather than the defense be complimented for forcing a turnover. Most interceptions are the fault of the QB, making a bad read, or forcing a throw, rather than the result of a defensive player making a spectacular play. It's a combination, but I think the offense is more at fault for turnovers. Say a Qb fumbles the ball, is it because the defensive player makes a great strip, or because the offensive line simply missed the block, making it "losing" play. This does not apply all the time, or else teams would simply kneel on every play, and wait for the other team to make a mistake. Obviously, the team that makes the fewest mistakes usually wins the game. I just thought this was a different point of view, and while I don't like how Vermiel cries as much as a baby, he is a good coach, who is loved by his players, and makes a good point.
