This Saturday, the Orange will trot out redshirt sophomore Tommy DeVito, a former four-star recruit who described his team’s offense as “exhilarating” at Atlantic Coast Conference Media Day in July. The stamina of the offensive line is left to performance coach Sean Edinger, who runs an aggressive weightlifting regimen he first developed while working with the University of Missouri’s up-tempo football team.

When the two coaches first arrived in Syracuse in the spring of 2016, the level of cardiovascular fitness required to make it through practice shocked most of the roster. According to Babers, so many players vomited from exhaustion during the first few training sessions that the trash cans lining the field were nearly filled.

Garoppolo said Babers’s arrival at Eastern Illinois was greeted with a similar amount of bodily fluid. During the second day of spring practice in 2012, the quarterback remembered having to snap the ball moments after his center threw up on it.

“I’m pretty sure the pass was incomplete,” said Garoppolo. “That was my first eye-opening moment to the offense.”

By year four of the Babers era, Syracuse’s roster is fitter and stronger than ever. According to coach, the only players with their heads in the trash cans are freshmen, who “don’t count.”
