At least 2 in each loss. We had 8 players drafted that year, 5 in the first 89 picks. Result: 9-4 w/ a Pinstripe Bowl win.

W/ decent QB play, we could have won 10+ and maybe washed some of the stink off from the end of 2012.

Another case of BK putting too much on the QB's shoulders.

The Oklahoma game was particularly bad. After Rees threw a pick 6 on the third play of the game, BK had him throwing again in the second series. It was super windy but, as we know, the weather should never influence one's play-calling strategy. Rees threw a second pick on the very first play of the second possession, and it was 14-0 Oklahoma just a few minutes into the game.

It turned out that OU didn't have much of a run defense, and we ended up rushing for 229 yards on 29 carries (including a big day by the late George Atkinson III). Of course Kelly didn't have the patience to test that out at the beginning of the game.
