Orange head coach Scott Shafer will lead the squad in the 2013 season-opener against Penn State at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, August 31 (3:30 p.m., ABC), but in his mind the senior class is doing the heavy lifting when it comes to leadership. The squad boasts 24 seniors, 11 on the offense, 11 on the defense and two on special teams.
"I love our senior class and I love our captains," Shafer said in his weekly exclusive Orange All Access Interview. "I've seen our captains really take the team over and our senior class has helped them with it. There is strength in numbers and we have a really large senior class. It's a group of kids that's really committed to find ways to win games. That's probably the one thing that excites me the most about this team."
Syracuse will play its first game of the season in the stadium that will host the last game of the NFL season -- Super Bowl XLVII. It is the second consecutive season that the Orange will play in MetLife Stadium, which is now home to two former SU standouts Ryan Nassib and Justin Pugh, who are rookies with the New York Giants this season.
"I'm excited to get back to MetLife Stadium, where the Super Bowl is going to be played this year. I know it will be really great because Justin and Ryan are going to come by before the game. It's a recruiting hotbed for both programs so hopefully we can get in there and put on a good show."
