Syracuse HC Dino Babers opens his Monday presser by crediting the Purdue win to special teams and turnovers. Describes Virginia as a “very serious” opponent.

WR Isaiah Jones is “probably done for the year” after suffering an upper-body injury against Purdue. Tough situation for a guy who thrived this offseason before initially getting hurt on Day 1 of camp.

Babers said that Syracuse is taking a hard look at its running game and Sean Tucker’s lack of breakaway runs. His longest carry through three games: 13 yards. Babers believes his All-American RB is physically healthy after getting dinged in Week 1.

Babers said he’s hoping to have WR/KR Trebor Pena back for Virginia on Friday

Babers knows emotions will be high for offensive assistants Robert Anae and Jason Beck, as well as UVA players on Friday. Asked if Anae and Beck are working to prep the SU defense, Babers said they’re doing all they can to help the program prepare.

Babers declined comment on defensive coordinator Tony White’s presumed candidacy for the recently opened head coaching position at Arizona St.

Babers on the relationship between Beck and Shrader: “They make a good couple. They’re not odd.”

Babers on Oronde Gadsden II becoming the go-to guy in the passing game: “I don’t know if he got the job, but he’s definitely getting an interview.”
