Dear Readers,

Dino Babers’ Syracuse team will finally take the field for a game for the first time on Friday against Colgate. Nine months since being hired as the Orange’s head coach, Babers has implemented a host of changes for the program, most notably his Baylor-style offense. In the past two years, SU has won just seven games and is now prepping to catch teams from behind. Babers is relying on quarterback Eric Dungey, running back Dontae Strickland and wide receiver Steve Ishmael to help lead the turnaround. This comprehensive guide provides all you need to know for the upcoming season.

Thanks for reading,

Paul Schwedelson, Sports Editor
