Yes, winning a game when you have 5 turnovers (or even worse, -5 turnover margin), is hard to do.
I think the last time UCF won a game when they had 5 turnovers was their 2013 game vs USF....which kept USF in the game...which eventually gave them the lead in the 4th Q before Bortles and Perriman hooked up for the 52 yd "game changer".
Protect the ball...protect the ball...do that, and you will have a shot to win games that you probably shouldn't even be in.
Obviously even better, win the turnover margin...as field position changes from turnovers can change a game on a dime. (Similar to UCONN's win over UCF last year, as UCF's 4 INT's proved costly on that cold/drizzly day...as UCONN only turned the ball over once on that day.

no you had -3 turnover margin, in the 2013 game.... (turnover margin is the difference between their turnovers and yours)
the maryalnd usf game, maryland had a -5 turnover margin, not 5 turnovers
but your point still still stands....just fixing the error
