Babers Up for Bear Bryant Award

Share:

After a historic start, Syracuse head coach Dino Babers is on the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award Watch List.

Babers is 1-of-25 coaches up for the honor, which is presented annually to a college football coach for contributions that make the sport better for athletes and fans alike by demonstrating grit, intensity and a winning approach to coaching and life both on and off the field.

Babers has the Orange off to its best start since 1987 at 6-0 and the first 2-0 start in league play since 'Cuse joined the ACC. The Orange's balanced offensive attack and a top-10 defense in the FBS have led the squad to a No.
