Camp Notebook: Week 2
8/14/2022 12:57:00 PM | Football
ACC Football Road Show and scrimmage one headlined a busy week of 'Cuse camp, as the Orange are now inside of three weeks from kickoff against Louisville on Sept. 3 in the JMA Wireless Dome.
Tickets for the entirety of the Orange's much-anticipated home slate are available on Cuse.com/Tickets. Fans can also purchase partial plans, group tickets and individual game tickets as well for the most challenging home schedule in recent memory as five of the seven opponents are receiving votes in the Preseason Coaches Poll, including three top-20 foes.
As the season draws nearer, recap some of the content you might have missed this week:
Tuesday, Aug. 9
An annual highlight of camp, the pads came on for the first time:
As seen in the video, Babers started off Tuesday's press conference sharing news about safety Ja'Had Carter, who was transported to a local hospital following a collision on field. As Babers stated, it was precautionary and Carter has since returned to practice.
Wednesday, Aug. 10
ACC Network was in Central New York as part of their ACC Football Road Trip show. The network produced an hour-long preview show of the Orange, with interviews with Coach Babers, Sean Tucker, Mikel Jones and Garrett Shrader live from practice.

Saturday, Aug. 13
The first of two camp scrimmages occurred, with the Orange running well over 100 plays in a 90-minute session that featured stellar plays on both sides of the ball. The first half of the scrimmage featured both 'thud' (plays blown dead upon contact, no tackling to the ground) and completely live periods, with the entirety of the second portion of the scrimmage being all live:
Next Saturday will be the Orange's final scrimmage of camp.
OTHER NEWS AND NOTES:
- Syracuse defensive backs Garrett Williams and Duce Chestnut continue to reap praise as being one of the top cornerback duos in the country. This time, ACC Network analyst Eric Mac Lain featured both in his top-three corners in the ACC rankings. Williams (1) and Chestnut (3) made 'Cuse the only school with multiple representatives in the top-five.
- Bruce Feldman's annual "freaks" list was released and Orange fullback Chris Elmore made the cut as one of college football's most freakish athletes. A versatile player, Elmore has played fullback, tight end, offensive line, defensive line and running back in his career.
- Chestunt was also tabbed by ESPN as one of college football's Second-Year Stars to watch. A freshman All-American in 2021, Chestnut returns to fortify the SU secondary as a sophomore.
- 'Cuse also received a million dollar donation from former football student-athlete David Tate, and inspires others to do the same. More: Tate Inspires Fellow Alumni with $1M Gift
