The Uh-Oh Stat in the Tennessee Volunteer-Notre Dame Game
Uh-oh.
As of 10/3/05, the Fighting Irish had accumulated seven takeaways in the red zone.
The Volunteers have lost their last two games primarily due to two fumbles in the red zone (actually, three, but we “got lucky” on one and recovered it ourselves). Come to think of it, we also threw an interception into the end zone on another loss just before that.
We have a tendency to turn it over in the red zone. Notre Dame has a knack for taking it away in the red zone.
As I said, uh-oh.
