Syracuse, N.Y. — Count Rick Neuheisel as a fan of the Dino Babers hire.
The former coach believes Babers' high-powered, Baylor-cloned offense will make "a huge impact" at Syracuse.
Neuheisel made his comments during the halftime show of the SEC championship in Atlanta, where he was serving as an analyst.
"I'm not sure it's going to translate to wins and losses, but Dino Babers going to Syracuse is going to make a huge impact," said Neuheisel, formerly the head coach at Colorado, Washington and UCLA.
Syracuse finished the 2015 season ranked 116th nationally in passing yards per game. Bowling Green, with Babers leading the program, finished the regular season ranked third.
"They're going to throw the ball all over the yard," Neuheisel said.
The 54-year-old Babers was hired by Syracuse on Saturday following an efficient search by first-year athletic director Mark Coyle, who fired Scott Shafer 12 days ago.
Babers, who previously served as an assistant under Art Briles at Baylor, has had success implementing components of the high-powered, up-tempo offense as a head coach at Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green.
