ESPNU program to show behind-the-scenes look at SU
Fans will get a look inside the Syracuse football program this week when the Orange appears on the ESPNU program, “All-Access.”
The 30-minute Syracuse episode of “All-Access” will air Wednesday at 5 p.m. and again at 6:30 p.m.
Each week, the program takes viewers to major college football schools and gives an all-inclusive look at practices, player-coach meetings and campuses. The goal is to give a look into a typical day for coaches and players, according to SU Athletics.
A camera crew from ESPNU arrived on campus Sept. 17 to record footage, according to an article published by The Post-Standard on Tuesday.
The last time “All-Access” visited Syracuse University was for a dispute concerning Syracuse’s overtime win against Toledo, when controversy arose over an extra point. In the show, which aired Oct. 5, 2011, defensive end Chandler Jones — now with the New England Patriots — interviewed students and teammates on campus about the game.
This time, part of the program will focus on SU’s use of GoPro helmet cameras during practice, according to The Post-Standard. Using the in-helmet cameras allows coaches to see exactly what quarterbacks see during practice.
The show will also feature interviews with head coach Scott Shafer and captains Jerome Smith and Jay Bromley, according to SU Athletics.
