▪ This was a pretty remarkable stat: In spite of the talent on UM’s defensive line last season, the opposing offensive line was whistled for just three holding penalties in 11 regular-season games against Miami, plus one each in the ACC Championship game and the Orange Bowl.

At one point, UM went 31 consecutive quarters without a single holding penalty being called against the opponent's offense.
