afterward when Western freshman Keith Paskett fumbled away a punt at his own 32-yard line It took the Lions six plays to take it in from there -with running back Steve Sifton getting the honors from two yards out think there was any question that the fumble was the turning point in the said SLU coach Oscar Lofton killed us in our first two games We had 11 turnovers in 13 possessions in one of
