NC State faces UConn on Thursday, August 31, 2023 (8/31/23) at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut.
There are plenty of offensive and defensive details for Syracuse’s Dino Babers to stew over as the season opener nears.
“Yeah, you might get a gray hair or two worrying about that stuff overnight and you probably wouldn’t sleep very well,” Babers said this summer with a chuckle. Roster turnover typically centers on who is throwing passes or deflecting them away. There’s less discussion on whether a new long snapper working in near anonymity can repeatedly put the ball on target. Or if the holder has the steady hands to cleanly catch the snap, especially if having to make a lineup-reversing adjustment from a left- to a right-footed kicker.
“If it’s a perfect lace, the holder doesn’t have to hold,” Thurin said. “So if a guy catches it and it’s off laces, sometimes you can’t spin it all the way because you don’t have time. ... It’s wild, right? “The kicker doesn’t really matter for me,” said Shimko, a fifth-year player who has never delivered a bad snap in 475 career attempts. “It’s more the holder. This is my third holder now, so all of them are a little different, just looking at them in their stance or certain little things they do can kind of throw me off a little bit. But as many reps as I can get with them, it’ll fix whatever issues would be going on.
