Spring Notebook: Scrimmage 1
4/18/2021 4:19:00 PM | Football
The Syracuse football team is a little past the midway point of their allotment of 15 spring practices, with the team holding its first scrimmage of the spring on Saturday.
The Orange, which has its largest spring roster in recent memory with the amount of senior players who elected to utilize their additional season of eligibility, saw a heavy rotation among personnel units.
Â
Scrimmage thoughts from Coach Babers:
"I thought it was good - the kids mixed it up. They were a little rusty out here. It was one of our first times being outside, but it was a nice day -- a beautiful Syracuse day. It was fun to see them mix it up and bang it around a little bit.
"This was the first real go. We took the super seniors and ran them a little bit. It was really cool to see them run out there and mix it up and kind of show the young guys how to do it. Then we got them out of there and really let the young guys get the experience of going to the ground and playing real football."
Recap:
The scrimmage, which was mostly live with plays blown dead if a defensive player was close to a sack, saw Syracuse's offensive units combine for eight touchdowns in 20 offensive series. Seven of which came through the air. Tommy DeVito (3), Garrett Shrader (2), JaCobian Morgan (1) and Justin Lamson (1) tossed the scores. Morgan also rushed for one score.
The receiving scores were also spread evenly among seven different recipients.
Defensively, Caleb Okechuku and Josh Black each came away with a pair of sacks.
