Head coach Scott Shafer is turning up the pressure on the Orange. With one-full week of camp completed, Shafer gave his student-athletes a timetable on when he'd like to have the depth chart take form.
"I'd like to come out of Fort Drum feeling strong about what our two-deep is starting to look like," Shafer said. "Knowing that it's not solidified, but getting it narrowed down a little bit. I told the kids in the meeting today that when we get to Saturday evening, it would be like cut day in the NFL. (smiling) We won't cut anyone, but we will make decisions to see who's in the two-deep and we will put a little pressure on them to see how they play under pressure and I'm looking forward to it."
The Orange will host a Fan Fest on Saturday beginning at 3 pm with the team scrimmaging beginning at 4:30 pm.

In an effort to show fans what it's like to be a Division I football student-athlete, quarterbacks coach Tim Lester and running backs coach DeAndre Smith take you inside their respective meeting rooms.
