FAYETTEVILLE — While watching college football last fall, some Arkansas baseball players took note of a trend in the sport.
More football teams were coming up with creative ways to recognize defenders who were forcing turnovers.
At Alabama, there was a replica wrestling title belt called the “Ball Out Belt.” At Georgia, spiked shoulder pads with the word “Savage” across the back. At Virginia Tech, a lunch pail to symbolize a blue collar attitude. At Tennessee, the infamous “Turnover Trashcan,” which had previously been used in practice by John Chavis at Texas A&M and Chad Morris at SMU.
