Following a late bye week that came nine games into the season, Syracuse is preparing to face Louisville on Saturday. Head coach Dino Babers returned for a weekly press conference and said the Orange “needed a break” both physically and mentally. Several players went home during the week off, Babers said, while the head coach was spotted recruiting over the weekend.
“We did not practice that much. We needed that time to heal,” Babers said.
