Dino's Game 1 Press Conference for Ohio: 11:00 AM ACCNX

Stephen Bailey:

Syracuse HC Dino Babers starting his Week 1 presser. Gives his best to former Ohio coach Frank Solich, “a walking book of knowledge.”

Babers said QB Tommy DeVito got better during fall camp. “I think the big thing is just his pocket presence, knowing where people are.” Also said getting rid of the ball quickly.

No OL specifics from Babers, but said the feel is certainly different this year compared to last. Freshman Kalan Ellis has done well to position himself as a key reserve.

Babers on Ohio’s run game: “They remind me of old Nebraska without the option.” Early test for SU’s front six.

Babers on Ben Labrosse and Jason Simmons: “I think they’re both going to play before all is said and done.”

Babers on starting a freshman punter in James Williams. “There’s nothing spookier than a freshman in his first game.”

Babers said DT McKinley Williams hasn’t been cleared yet. He has confidence in the d-line going into Ohio whether “Bear” is ready or not.

Babers is asked about conditioning of Dakota Davis and McKinley Williams. “We’ve been doing some special stuff with them.” Said the curve is steeper for OL since they don’t rotate normally.

still amazed Su doesnt do something better with the mics for the questions.. just having an intern with a directional mic would probably solve the problem. Isnt life like the movies where they can hear conversations thru walls 100 yds away in a hot dog truck?
 
Not hot on the fact that Dino thinks that the DL will be ready whether McKinley is good to go or not. That indicates to me that he isn't going to play.
 
McKinley having to be cleared for an illness is weird. Could it be mono ?
 
I think its because if he gets 10-20 snaps he would be happy with that and the rotation.. But who knows if he gets zero.
