One of the biggest issues for the Syracuse Orange defense since Dino Babers took over has been the lack of turnovers.
After causing 23 in 2015, Scott Shafer’s final year, Syracuse had 19 in 2016 and just 12 last year. They already have six this year — and that effort’s been led by the secondary, which has collected all of them via interception (the special teams punt blocks don’t count as fumbles).
The Daily Orange spoke to SU’s defensive backs this week to determine what’s caused the shift. There are no props like chains or backpacks for the Orange.
