9 A.M. — Syracuse Loves P.G. County Corners

Eleanor Roosevelt grad Nico Scott and Frederick Douglass grad Matt Reid are both vying for the starting corner slots on Syracuse's football team.

Scott, who started two games last season will probably win one of the starting jobs, while Reid, who redshirted last year, should at least see time in nickel and/or dime coverages. At 6-foot-1, 195, don't rule out a possible change to one of the safety slots for Reid.

The real question is whether Syracuse's Greg Robinson will be coaching the Orange next season.

7:30 A.M. — Derrick Williams Needs to Quiet Critics

Leaving Eleanor Roosevelt three years ago, Derrick Williams was considered the nation's top recruit. And then he surprised everyone by going to Penn State. Now as a senior, the once-heralded wideout hopes to finally meet his lofty expectations.

Consider his stats: "Williams had 1,121 all-purpose yards a year ago as a junior, the second-highest total on the team. He produced a team-leading 55 catches for 529 yards, but averaged just 9.6 yards per catch and three touchdowns."

The fact is that if he wants to get to the league, he'll have to do something for the stagnant offense. Plus, he's a co-captain.

"The real Derrick Williams will be there this year," he said."

Where were they the last two years?
