Football: Elon & turnovers

If any single aspect of the game has hurt the Phoenix this season, it's been turnovers. Last Saturday, Georgia Southern capitalized on three Phoenix interceptions and one fumble scoring 17 points off these miscues. Elon leads the Southern Conference in turnovers, 6 fumbles (lost) and 10 interceptions so far this season.

"We’ve got to do the right things and good things will happen to us," said Elon head coach Jason Swepson after Saturday's game against GSU. "The bottom line is we’ve just got to clean up the mistakes. We’ve got a good football team. We’ll work hard and we’ll put ourself in position to be successful. The kids aren’t going to quit. We’re not going to quit as coaches. We’ve still got a lot of football left in front of us."

Elon will give the Catamounts opportunities to excel, they just have to take advantage.
