George DeLeone took the fall last year despite his machinelike work ethic
By Adam Kilgore
The first thing George DeLeone does every morning, when he wakes before the rest of the world, is ask himself a question: What can I do today to win more football games? Daily 7 a.m. wake-up calls?

The end of spring football is finally drawing near for Syracuse. Following Syracuse's final practice this afternoon, the Orangemen will participate in the annual Spring Game Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. The end-of-spring scrimmage will give fans a glimpse of the work the team has done over the past month.
