Syracuse, N.Y. — There is nothing enticing about salad if you're a 300-plus pound football player who mostly improved his strength through protein and powerlifting.
But some sacrifices needed to be made, and Steven Clark was smart and open enough to change his approach toward getting stronger this offseason in an effort to become a better player.
"I thought the bigger you are in college, the better you're going to be," Clark said, "and that's not the case at all."
Every Syracuse football player needed to embrace change after longtime strength coach Will Hicks was replaced by Sean Edinger this offseason, a typical staff change that accompanies many head coaching transitions.
But it's the sophomore defensive tackle's transformation this summer that sheds light on how this team is being conditioned to play under first-year coach Dino Babers...
