Dino Babers' Early Scouting Report On The Pittsburgh Panthers


Head coach Dino Babers did his weekly presser with the media and gave his initial thoughts on the Pitt Panthers. Here’s what he had to say.
In the final game of the season for the Syracuse football team they travel to play the Pitt Panthers. This Dino Babers squad has been one of the most injury-riddled Orange teams in the history of this franchise.
