Miami’s offense hasn’t led since Oct. 6. So its defense can’t be ‘sucking wind’ anymore

The hurry-up, Boston College Eagles did something last Friday to the Miami Hurricanes’ nationally touted defense that hadn’t been done in quite some time.

They wore the Canes out — hands on hips, bent over, sucking air type of wore-them-out.

“If anything, I would say, kind of, we’re human,’’ sophomore defensive end Jon Garvin said on Wednesday, when asked what the UM defense learned about itself after the Eagles marched down the field three consecutive times for drives of 10, 10 and 21 plays that yielded 17 points in 13:45 of the first 21 minutes of the game.
