After church, I googled it, and sure enough, the announcer was CORRECT.

The announcer said that Willis led college football in FUMBLES last year.As Parodox pointed out, I'm sure the arm injury/brace contributed to it, as well as it being his first year playing since high school. But I was really impressed with Dave Ryan and his partner with CBS. I enjoyed their broadcast, they really did their research, and they were actually at the game together(as opposed to ESPN doing a lot of our games remotely).

Wasn't that something that Turner Gill did when he was our head coach?

What impressed me most on Saturday: Willis taking over the game in the second half. This was actually a 3-3 game at halftime, with Willis and the Flames looking out of sync. But then Willis lit up the Blazers. In the third and fourth quarters, he went 6-of-9 passing for 191 yards and a touchdown and added six carries for 55 yards and two more scores. He spread the ball around to eight different receivers. He dominated and didn't even play the last couple of series.https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2022/insi ... NwkcGx9z9I
The Auburn transfer now has 17 total touchdowns (11 passing) and zero interceptions for the season. He moved up to No. 1 in Total QBR. Willis stays away from mistakes and has progressed as a passer. He's playing like the clear QB1 of his draft class, with a matchup at Ole Miss and second-ranked signal-caller Matt Corral looming on Nov. 6.
