per Joe:

One of Jerry Kill’s favorite maxims as he roams the Gophers football practice field speaks to the importance of minimizing turnovers: “Ball security, job security!”

The Gophers ranked tied for 15th nationally in turnover margin last season at plus-10. This season they are minus-2, tied for 88th nationally.

Their troubles holding onto the ball almost cost them last week’s game against Ohio, as the Gophers fumbled six times, recovering all but one. Kill knows improving in this area will be crucial to his team’s success in Big Ten play, starting Saturday.

“We turn over the ball against Northwestern, we won’t win the game,” Kill said Tuesday.
