Today and Tomorrow practice is closed and there are no interviews. So unless SU FB does any tweeting there will be no news. Saturday practice is again closed but there will be interviews with Coach Shafer at 4:00 prior to practice. Technically Friday should be the end of Fall Camp.

Is this the most agonizing time of year or is it just me? The season is so close and yet the coaches remain so silent. Shafer speaks on Saturday and Wednesday and that's it before game day. How could what we have been waiting for all year be right on the doorstep and yet we get less information in the last 2 weeks before game day than we do the rest of the year?

Game time for us means getting amped. Game time for them means focus and prep.

Plus - at some point there's not a lot to talk about. Just play the game!!

Who's 97? Who's 76?

If the SU roster is correct, it's: Amir Ealey and a R- OT (Keaton Darney)

Whoa. Great minds, huh?

I've taught you well, young padawan.

So ...when did this redshirt freshman, Darney, show up? Looks like a good-sized guard. And looks like he knocked Ealey on his you know what.

True Frosh Kenterius Womack Could See Field at WR This Season (PS; Bailey)

Watching Kenterius Womack work out during the first couple weeks of camp, Syracuse offensive coordinator Tim Lester came away with two conclusions:

1. Womack isn't ready to play quarterback at this level, yet.

2. He is athletic enough to be a contributor this season if he can develop at wide receiver.

As the Orange finishes up its preseason camp and moves into game preparation for its season opener against Rhode Island, Womack continues to spend time practicing at quarterback and wide receiver. Lester hasn't ruled out the 6-foot-1, 170-pound athlete from running SU's offense in future years, but he's seen enough to instruct the first-year player to train primarily at wideout.

Womack initially had trouble getting off the line of scrimmage, but he's improved his physicality, thanks in part to working with sophomore wide receiver Steve Ishmael. Releases were Ishmael's main struggle during his first few months of college ball last year.

"You've seen that growth as we cut down quarterback stuff," Lester said. "That's really why we did it, to make sure he's ready to go this year. He is talented, and now that he can get off the ball, he can make plays."

Womack flashed his shiftiness very briefly during the Fort Drum scrimmage, coming around on a reverse and spinning away from freshman defensive end Qaadir Sheppard. He didn't make it back to the line of scrimmage but appears to be a fairly natural athlete in a wide receivers group that's largely unproven after Ishmael.

"I know once he gets the ball, that's not a problem," Lester said.

It's likely that Womack won't be making any contributions right away this year, but as he continues to master the playbook and thinks less during practice, he could rise up the depth chart.
