Syracuse has just wrapped up their time at the podium. In attendance is coach Dino Babers, QB Garrett Shrader, OL Matthew Bergeron and LB Mikel Jones. Here are some notes and impressions from what they had to say.
Dino Babers:
On what the new members of the coaching staff has done
“We have walked the same path” liked what he saw from the numbers they could put up at Virginia”
Confident in the experience this staff has to make the jump
On bringing Garrett Shrader to ACC Media day:
“One of the team leaders”
Syracuse did not bring their QB last year to ACC media day
On taking advantage of games at home:
“We have a strong 12th man”
Lost close games to wake , clemson last season close at home , playing NC State and ND at home this season.
“Must do a better job at home”
Babers believes that he has the team to help overcome certain struggles late in the season in november and december where they are 6-18
Matthew Bergeron:
On his leadership role -
Feels he has been more vocal and getting the younger guys involved
On his QB -
His ability to escape the pocket makes his assignments blocking easier, not difficult
He believes the offense can be more balanced this year , achieve more things
Can speak french pretty well , gave the audience a sample of what is his first language!
Junior LB Mikel Jones
How Syracuse has made him better
The culture that Syracuse that has developed has made him a better player as a whole.
QB Garrett Shrader
On his relationship with the new coaches:
“It’s been awesome”
Air raid offense and the “common ground they have found”
Had great things to say about running back Sean Tucker (award watch list)
“We are gonna be explosive this year”
This group of guys are confident in what they can do this year!
