We can believe something rational caused this shift, like the fact an influx of young players recruited by second-year head coach Mark Richt has led to an uptick in defensive prowess. Except that the ’Canes also lead all power-conference programs in turnover margin (plus-15) and are tied for the lead in interceptions (16), and they’re second in total turnovers gained (24) behind only Washington State. Those types of marks suggest that a team should be good, but not necessarily elite. It ranks 18th in Football Outsiders’ offensive S&P+ and 16th in defensive S&P+ for the non-advanced stats crowd, the ’Canes are 39th in scoring offense (32.6 points per game) and 10th in scoring defense (16.6 points per game). Glancing at broader statistics, Miami doesn’t appear dominant. PJApvJ3h17- Miami Hurricanes November 5, 2017 Perhaps most importantly, Jennifer Lopez has worn the chain: And now they’re 9-0, ranked third in the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings, and three wins away from clinching a spot in the four-team field. They’re the first team in 13 years to get four turnovers in four straight weeks against four power-conference opponents.
TURNOVER CHAIN FULL
Two years ago, the Hurricanes corralled eight interceptions over the course of a full 13-game campaign this fall, with two regular-season contests and the team’s first appearance in the ACC championship game yet to play, the ’Canes have 16 picks. Swag-and this necklace-have defined Miami’s best season since it was stocked with future Pro Bowlers in the early 2000s. Finally, after 80 years, that old-timey stiff-arming dude would have some swag. We could admire the way the chain’s gold and sapphires sparkle in comparison to the statue’s dull bronze finish. Somebody would drape its thick links over the neck of the player depicted on the award, and nestle its enormous bejeweled pendent over his chest. If this year’s Heisman Trophy truly went to the star of the 2017 college football season, it would go to the Miami Turnover Chain.
