It’s finally Syracuse football game day, the highly anticipated debut of Dino Babers as the Orange’s head coach. His often-talked about offense will be on display for the first time so all the “you’ll have to wait and see how fast it is” statements from players can be put to rest. Here’s everything you need to know for the first game day of the season.

How can you watch the game? On ACC Network Extra, which can be found under the “Live Now” tab on Watch ESPN

How much do student tickets cost? Nothing. All students get in for free with a valid SUID.

What is Babers saying before his first game as head coach? See what he had to say on the ACC coaches’ teleconference  and at his press conference earlier this week.

What should you know about Colgate? Everything you need to know can be found, here.

What’s the deal with Syracuse’s weakest position group on paper? They’re out to prove people wrong.
