Surprisingly enough it turns out that the University of Miami defenses' "Turnover Chain" is all the rage. The funny thing is that the entire college football world knows that only in Miami could such a simple thing become so famous.
But hey, when you add up the most watched ESPN Game Day of the year, way too cool South Beach, way too rich Alex Rodriguez, so beautiful Coral Gables and smoking hot Jennifer Lopez, well, it is clear that we have got it going on!
So yes, the Miami Hurricanes "Chain Gang" is back in action and better than ever in South Florida. The coaches thought it up, the players love it, and the fans can't get enough of it. The national media is eating it up and the college football world does not know what to make of it.
The stats show that Miami ranks second in turnover margin with a +15 ratio and 5th in total turnovers gained with 24. Now that is very impressive!
It is often said that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Recently we have seen that the Turnover Chain looks unbreakable and is here to stay.
And to the rest of the college football world we say this: Choke on it!

and Instarted comparing that to Randy Shannon’s team in 2009 and 2010...no emotion, no celebration, almost like robots at times. Was Randy that against celebrating success? Was it a school edict?

randy Shannon is the same guy who said the ob was just a building after it was torn down,Watch a florida game with him coaching and count how many times he has his arms crossed,no emotion, like a dead fish!! way to conservative on play calling, Thanks for what he did when he played for the canes but now he is a scrub on the head coaching front

Miami WR Braxton Berrios is only targeted 18.2% of the time when lined up in the slot - yet has hauled in 485 yards and 8 TDs from the position - his 8 TDs tied for second-most in the nation.

This will be a fun ride for the next 5-10 years.
We will be supplanting Bama shortly.
The genius of the to chain combined with the renewed CMR will be too much to handle.
The defense imagines wearing the the chain. They feel its weight. See the light glimmer, hear the cheers.
It is in their heads and will produce results we have not seen in years, maybe results that have never been seen before.
It is doing the same thing to recruits.
It is here to stay and will reap benefits for years to come.
They created a POWERFUL symbol that rallies, captivates and inspires.
Dont be surprised if the turnover chain is the catalyst to one of the most dominant runs in cfb history.
Posted by: TruCane81 | November 17, 2017 at 02:37 PM
We are gonna be like Bama has been but with better qb play.
Basically we will be US again.
Posted by: TruCane81 | November 17, 2017 at 02:40 PM
Lost juniors wont matter.
Injuries except at ss and qb, wont matter.
We are in RELOAD mode even with an unbalanced roster.
We have state of Miami players being coached well.
After the 18 class arrives, there will be no more retooling.
Guys will be terrified of injury because we will have playmakers stacked 3 deep at every position.
The busy atlantic storm season was poetic and prophetic.
It foreshadowed the return of Miami Hurricane football.

For those of you who have seen Richards run when he is healthy, you realize that he has a special gear that few receivers have. A healthy Richards could be the fastest receiver in the ACC, if not in college football. He can take a simple WR screen and go untouched to the end zone. I agree with TrueCane and UMike (and the Canes opposing coaches) that Richards warrants double coverage.
I don't know if Richards is still struggling with that hamstring. If he is at least 90%, I have a feeling that the Canes coaches will figure out how to get Richards going in these last two games . The Canes can definitely use a healthy Richards against Clemson and the CF Playoff.

SOTU: After his performance against Notre Dame, there is no doubt Canes fans are now familiar with DeeJay Dallas. In what was his most productive game so far, the true freshman scored two touchdowns and rushed for 53 yards on 12 attempts. Since being moved from receiver to running back in early October, it has taken Dallas some weeks to adjust to his new role, but the position switch is starting to show results. After only his third game in which he was given any touches, DeeJay is showing promising signs of what’s to come throughout his Canes career.
I trust Coach Richt and his staff, but I never understood why they decided to place DeeJay at receiver when he enrolled this past Spring. He is 6 feet tall, hovers just over 200 pounds, and is a proven ball carrier as he ran frequently from his primary quarterback position in high school. He is built like and moves more like a natural running back than receiver. Apart from that, why place DeeJay in a crowded receiver group when running back depth was shaky to begin with? His playmaking potential is such that Dallas needs the best opportunities to touch the ball and that probably wasn’t going to come as a wide receiver. It was horrible losing Mark Walton for the season to injury, but if I’m being glass-half-full here, it forced Richt’s hand in moving DeeJay to his more natural running back position.
Do I think DeeJay Dallas will ever be the Hurricanes starting running back? No, I don’t, but Miami shouldn’t want him to be. Travis Homer is a heck of a ball player, and next year the roster will add Lorenzo Lingard and Camron Davis with Robert Burns returning from injury. The starting job should be well manned for years to come with those guys. What Miami needs Dallas to be is a mismatch threat all over the field. Keep running him out of the ‘Wildcane’ formations. Put him in the backfield as a pass catching threat. Motion him out to the slot. Use him as a passing threat. And of course, also feed him the football on handoffs from time to time. The point is, DeeJay Dallas can and must be so much more than simply RB1.
When Richt has called the play wrinkles with DeeJay in succession, it feels like the offense is in attack mode, a parallel to the way Manny Diaz calls Miami’s defense. As the offense opened up more against Virginia Tech and Notre Dame, it’s contributed to Miami’s two best all-around wins this season. When the safety brake is taken off, Miami’s talent shines, and the same holds true for DeeJay. As he learns his position better, I expect his safety brake to be increasingly depressed. His first career touchdown, a leaping, acrobatic effort, was a thing of beauty. And that was only his beginning. I’m sure that if DeeJay continues to develop this season and throughout his Canes career, he could become one of the most dynamic athletes Miami has seen in years.

Something to ponder:
1987 was the last year that the Miami Hurricanes defeated the Florida State Seminoles, Virginia Tech Hokies, and the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame all in the same season. But let's take a slightly deeper look.
In 1987 the Miami Hurricanes were subjected to a 21 day delay between their first and second game due to a real hurricane. In 2017, Miami was also delayed 21 days between their first and second game, again due to a hurricane.
In 1987, Miami faced a hostile crowd on the road in Doak Campbell Stadium against their arch rival FSU. Miami eeked out a nail biter in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter. In 2017, Miami, again traveled to Doak Campbell as a road underdog and pulled out a last second miracle win against FSU.
In 1987, Miami survived a surprisingly scrappy Toledo team (with a D-Line anchored by Craig Kooligowski) who played the Hurricanes close for three quarters. In 2017, Toledo led the Hurricanes for part of the third quarter and it was only due to a 28 point explosion in the 4th that Miami finally put the Rockets away.
In 1987, Miami hosted the Virginia Tech Hokies for their Homecoming game. It was a battle, but in the end, the Hurricanes came away with the 27-13 victory. In 2017, we beat the Hokies 28-10. Oh yeah, and it was Homecoming.
In 1987, Miami hosted the highly touted Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Miami in prime time and absolutely obliterated them. 2017? Miami destroyed #3 Notre Dame 41-8 in ABC's Game of the Week.
In 1987 Miami defeated the Oklahoma Sooners to win the National Championship. 2017? TBD...
Some additional notes: Miami has 5 National Championships. All were won in odd numbered years; 1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, 2001. All were also won with a Republican in the White House; Reagan(x2), GHW Bush(x2), GW Bush (x1).

This is a delicate question that I must ask. I stop by a little donut shop After my chiropractor appointment. This old guy trash stalks the U constantly. He finally said today, "I bet Miami doesn't have any white players." I
I was so ticked off and I said of course we do, and what difference does it make. I called him a bigot.
Anyway, I know we have many white players please, and give me some names and positions. I can't wait to stick it to him. Just another example of ignorant people who HATE the U.

Guess who's being investigated for grabbing a female by the _ _ _ _ y: Jameis, former QB of Female SexAbuse University
Winston is being investigated by the NFL for allegations by a female Uber driver in Scottsdale, Arizona that he groped her when they stopped at the drive-thru of a Mexican restaurant in March of 2016.
The Uber driver alleged in an interview with BuzzFeed News that Winston "reached over and he just grabbed my crotch" and kept his hand there for "three to five seconds." According to the report, he removed his hand only when she looked up in shock and said ‘What’s up with that?"
Apparently, she called an audible and Jameis had to change the play from a QB sneak to a hand-off.
Got to hand it to ... wait, no, err ... make that give him props. Jameis' behavior has improved. This time he's not accused of rape.
