Syracuse's offense features some very explosive playmakers, but it's only as strong as the guys up front on the offensive line.
They've put in a lot of work so far in the fall, as well as back in the spring.
What You Need To Know
- The offensive line is taking shape in fall camp
- All positions are up for grabs, but it's bringing out the best in the players
- They know there are no days off, no matter how much seniority there is
Just a couple of months ago, Dale Williams, the offensive line coach, said that basically all positions are up for grabs along the lines. Even with returnees like J'Onre Reid and Enrique Cruz, who bring a ton of experience, don't Sharpie them in for starting positions just yet.
All positions are still up for grabs. That was a message Fran Brown said on Monday.
And so far, that competition is bringing the best out of the guys in the trenches.
"You can never just sit there and be like some days, but you always know, like somebody's looking over watching you," lineman Da'Metrius Weatherspoon said. "So you got to look over your shoulder and just know somebody's watching at all times, like any mistake. And you don't want to lock in something like a slasher, just like that. So you guys got to be doing that one to everyone a lot better. No matter what, you just know that somebody right behind you try and get you a spot, and if you don't, it's up for grabs at that point."
