Turnovers continue to plague Bulldogs

The Ogden High School football team hasn’t been having the best couple of weeks, fighting through a string of tough opponents. Three weeks ago they fell to West Marshall 48-6. They then lost to Van Meter 54-0. This past Friday they struck out again, losing 49-14 to Panorama. 

In that 49-14 loss, they did exactly what contenders try to avoid, they had turnovers and poor special teams. Ogden threw four interceptions and lost a fumble. Turnovers have been a common problem for Ogden in the past three games as they have had 16 turnovers during that span. When you average over five turnovers per game, you are going to lose. 

What also caused this loss was poor special teams. They gave up two special teams touchdowns, one on a punt return and the other a 90 yard punt return. If Ogden hopes to get on the winning track, they can’t just give the opponent free scores and/or great field position. 

Next week is Ogden’s Homecoming week. It is against Madrid at home on the 23rd.
