Why was his nickname Turnover?

I agree with the EG point. He was bad in lots of the games he played (Purdue, Michigan, Stanford, Bama) and just OK in lots of others (MSU, Pitt–really bad til the end, USC, and BC). We actually scored less points per game than the year before with a very bad Tommy at QB and a much worse D that left the O on the sidelines alot. This entire season hinges on EG’s development and the Bama game was a big dissappointment on that front as he had more than a month to prep and was no better. I think ND fans are just so hungry for a good QB and so afraid of going back to Tommy that they have given EG a free pass.

Big disagreement on your point that EG was the main cause of poor offence last year.
He was good to very good, with the obvious exception of the Michigan game.
Why we will be much better this year does turn on EG’s improvement, but its from good to great, not poor to average.
I was a Tommy booster too, but the differences are too striking. Everett will be one of the best players in the country this year.

Saw Bobby Elliott and his wife there – he looks great. Glad to see he is doing so well. He looks years younger than 59 years old.
