Interesting article in the Corvallis G-T that mentions how the team deals with turnovers (or at least did so after the USC game last year where they committed 27 of them):
Revenge games
Sure, Oregon State had already exacted a measure of revenge against UCLA and USC last season at home after its lost weekend on the road — UCLA won by 25 and the Trojans rallied from 18 down to pick up a win that dropped the Beavers to 2-2 in conference play — early in the conference season.
But that road trip still seemed fresh on the players' minds last week, with several players admitting revenge was a motivating factor.
Pivec recalled Tuesday that the Beavers had to run 27 down and backs a season ago soon after they returned home from that trip to remind them of the 27 turnovers they committed against the Trojans .
“So it was easy to remember how poor that weekend went so we wanted to improve on that and get back at those guys.” Pivec said.
I was gratified to hear that we focus on TOs like this.
It also helps me develop theories on why we are as fit as we are as a team :-).
Go Beavers!
