Yes on Yes... at least according to my Directv guide for HD.

Really...a young, innovative fresh face in coaching is classified as a "dinosaur" by an internet expert who openly roots for BC. That's rich.

Just go away.

You produce one post where I have "openly rooted for BC" and I'll send you a case of whatever you drink. In truth, I hate BC because I live amongst their a$$hole fans. By the way, acknowledging that their coach is a good one is NOT openly rooting for BC. Being critical of SU's coaches is NOT openly rooting for BC. You are simply blinded by your inability to see that criticism is not disloyal.

Your criticism of Lester was spawned (at halftime of a game, no less) by your disagreement with his play calling. Now you double down by referring to him as a "dinosaur"...unwilling to change his run first play calling philosophy. Attacks/temper tantrums are very unbecoming.

Did Lester make adjustments at half time vs USF or did his true Frosh QB simply make fewer mistakes? Probably a little of both. Let's give the guy a chance and see what he comes up with for Virgina.

And btw, nobody likes a know-it-all.

Shafer on freshman Jordan Fredericks as starting RB: "Jordan's been the most productive running back. It's really as simple as that."

Shafer on USF's run success: "They did a better job maintaining their blocks and did a good job on the perimeter cutting our defenders."

Shafer on QB Eric Dungey: "He needs to learn how to throw the ball away and do a good job of getting the yards he needs and getting down."

Shafer said RB Devante McFarlane, who did not get any carries against USF, didn't have a good matchup.

Shafer asked about defense's overall growth. Said 14 guys in two deep have 3 or 4 years left.

Shafer reiterates Syracuse goes to JUCO for specific needs.

Shafer said he put RB Jordan Fredericks on kick return to give Brisly Estime a break and see what Fredericks could do. Has practiced it.

Shafer goes out of his way to credit the offensive line for success of young skill-position players.

Shafer says rFr. DTs Kayton Samuels and Chris Slayton "have done a good job, (but) they have a long way to go." Hard to play DT young.

And that's it for Shafer.

Hopefully we are bringing in the 2 best CBs in JUCO...

Scott Shafer on AJ Long being DQ'd due to concussions: "It just breaks your heart when any player can't play the game anymore."

Asked Shafer if he could go into specifics on how a backup QB, likely protected in practice, gets multiple concussions: "No."

Shafer said AJ Long's (most recent) concussion stemmed from a normal practice hit. "That was the most concerning of all."

Shafer made it sound like AJ Long came back from his hand injury and then suffered the most recent concussion.

Shafer said AJ Long's concussion came during a "thud" session of practice. That's hitting above the waist without tackling.

Dungey, "Flying on a plane to a game, that was different. It's crazy, we used to take a little yellow school bus."

this is part of the reason i believe the team came out flat. very new experience for a lot of the guys on the team (contributors). Even redshirts like Samuals and Slayton etc, I'm not sure if they were ever on the travel team.

I think (hope) with an away game under the belt they'll improve.

Shafer - "Looking forward to heading down to Virginia. I'm anxious to go down there and get to work. We'll have a good challenge."

Shafer on Dungey's progress - "It's a learning process with the young guys but when he catches fire he's pretty darn good."

Shafer on what he sees thus far: "I like the way they work, I like the way they compete and I like the way they care about each other."

Shafer on 2nd road trip: "At least there will be familiarity in the process with the young guys... It'll be a good experience."
