On the latest episode of Syracuse Sports, Syracuse.com's Brent Axe chats with Louis Riddick of ESPN and Brent Hubbs of Volquest to preview Syracuse vs. Tennessee and more. 

Riddick tells Axe how he's a big fan of Fran Brown's DART (Detailed, Accountable, Relentless, Tough) philosophy, what he sees as the key points of the Syracuse-Tennessee clash in Atlanta, shares best memories of facing Syracuse as a player at the University of Pittsburgh and forecasts former SU quarterback Kyle McCord's path in the NFL after sticking with the Philadelphia Eagles on the practice squad.

Brent Axe and Chris Carlson discuss the latest topics from SU football training camp on a live edition of Syracuse Sports.

Brent and Chris get right to some excellent questions from Syracuse Sports Insiders, including their prediction on who will be named Syracuse's starting quarterback in the competition between Rickie Collins and Steve Angeli.

Brent Axe and Javon Edmonds discuss the latest topics from SU football training camp on a live edition of Syracuse Sports 

Axe and Edmonds examine the quarterback competition between Steve Angeli and Rickie Collins Jr., which SU OC Jeff Nixon deems "truly a battle" right now. Why does Nixon have a longer timeline to determine his QB now as opposed to the spring and when will we know who is the starter? Nixon dropped a clue on a timeline to name SU's new QB 1. 

Brent and Javon also look at the developing offensive line with 4 new starters to replace, discuss the Coaches Poll and the 5 opponents SU will face on it (all on the road) and what else has stood out to them at training camp so far.
