SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) After watching his first spring football game as a rookie head coach, Syracuse's Scott Shafer wasn't about to ruffle any feathers after just 15 practices.

"I thought there was some good effort out there," Shafer said Saturday after his White team easily handled the Blue team 27-7. "We've got a lot of things to clean up. I liked the effort by the kids. I'm looking forward to seeing the videotape."

There was a normal turnout - a modest crowd of 3,822 - to watch the scrimmage in the Carrier Dome on a day that started with a windblown snow shower, and most eyes were on the quarterbacks as Shafer and his staff try to figure out who will replace record-setting Ryan Nassib in the fall.
