    The Miami Hurricanes football team showcased some big plays on offense and rattled off a few turnovers on defense as the team took part in its second preseason practice Sunday morning at the Greentree Practice Fields.

    "The offense did a good job with a couple of big plays, but we had two turnovers, which is something we can't have," UM head coach Randy Shannon said. "Right now, we're getting big plays on offense and the defense has to stop what we're trying to get done on offense. Defensively, creating turnovers is a big emphasis in this camp."
