Turnover margin is the single most important of the ones listed. Let me explain.
 
[U][B]Rutgers Loss by 8[/B][/U]
 
7 points off of blocked FG return (10 point swing)
6 points off punt return fumble recovery (6 points)
3 points off QB fumble at midfield (3 points, possibly more since we were driving)
killed drive at their 35 when Nassib fumbled, recovered at 50.
killed drive at their 26 when Nassib threw INT (at least 3 points left on the field)
 
turnovers accounted for 22 point swing.
 
[U][B]Pitt Won by 1[/B][/U]
 
7 points left on field when Nassib threw INT in the endzone from the Pitt 9 yard line
 
Turnovers accounted for 7 point swing.
 
[U][B]Minnesota Lost by 7[/B][/U]
 
killed drive at Minn 31 by Nassib fumble on 1st & 10 (at least 3 points left on the field)
killed drive off Nassib INT at Minn 3 yard line (7 points left on the field)
killed drive off Broyld's fumble at Minn 21 yard line (at least 3 points left on the field)
 
Turnovers accounted for at least 13 point swing
 
[U][B]USC Lost by 13[/B][/U]
 
Killed drive at USC 32 by Nassib INT (at least 3 points left on the field)
7 points off Nassib INT, set up short drive for USC TD (7 point swing)
 
Turnovers accounted for 10 point swing
 
[U][B]Northwestern Lost by 1[/B][/U]
 
7 points off Nassib INT at SU 21, set up 1 play drive for NW TD (7 point swing)
7 points off Nassib botched backward pass to Smith, returned for NW TD (7 point swing)
 
Turnovers accounted for 14 point swing
 
That's a 66 point swing for those keeping track at home. In each of our losses except the USC game (even then, would have increased chance in winning) it would have been the difference between winning and losing, the Rutgers game and the Northwestern games would have been double digit wins. It's sickening.
