I don't know, but I have a hard time blaming Harris for all those ints. The 2 Chekwa ints were at least partially on the receivers. The second one I'd blame entirely on the receiver. The Heyward int was all Harris. He misread the defense on that one. The Williams int was a great play by the defense and maybe a little bad luck for Harris. All on him though. I'd have to see the ints in the Pitt game again, but it looked like on at least one of them, that receiver needed to strip that ball out to prevent the int. Receivers need to make those plays. It's part of playing the position. The other int it looked like the receiver never saw the ball. That's on the receiver imo. I guess my point is that he is getting zero, or at least near-zero help from his receivers.

That and his offensive line either gives him an eternity to throw but his receivers aren't really open or he has a guy in his face.
Essentially there has been no rhythm to the Miami offense as yet this year.

The two picks last night weren't nearly as costly as the ones against tOSU. The first one was a bad decision/throw - he wasn't on the same page as his receiver and put it up for grabs - it cost Miami a scoring chance but didn't give Pitt field position.
The second one for a deep ball he just put up for grabs - and the defender got away with a little nudge in the back before making a great one-hand stab to pick it - that ball isn't going to be a turnover very often, and part of Miami's offense is based on their receivers winning 1-on-1 battles on deep balls.
The four Buckeye picks set up tOSU with an average start on the Miami 21-and-a-half yard line. The one where Heyward flipped the field with his 80-yard runback - that play could be considered worth more than 7 points, since it set up a Buckeye TD and then Miami got the ball back about 60 yards farther away from the goal line.

It looked to me like he actually had the WR on his first pick last night, but he put the ball behind the guy... well behind him. But, I admit I may be forgetting if it was a double, and the Corner was in position to take away a pass over the right shoulder of the WR.

You're right. The corner was late getting back on the play. If Harris leads his WR I don't think the safety would have even made a tackle much less an INT.

Yeah, Baldwin made a weak effort to locate the ball in the end zone, and then didn't hustle after Van Dyke once he made the pick.
Baldwin doesn't look like a 1st round draft choice to me.

Auburn STILL fugging sucks! WAR CHICKEN!
To me, it all looks like:
1) Not-too-smart decision making
2) Second-guessing
3) Taking too much time to be deliberate
4) Not THROWING the ball, but rather, trying to finesse it in
He just needs to uncork his arm like his first year - he looks like a robotic player going through the motions, always hesitant.
