Syracuse Football: Top 5 bittersweet oranges from loss to MTSU

3. Eric Dungey health clearly isn’t a concern

It started Week 1 against the Blue Devils. It should be labeled ‘reckless’ because that’s what it was. Not only due to his recent history of durability issues, but because this is the most important player on the Cuse team. In terms of wins and losses, in terms of rolling on all cylinders, and in terms of hope for the future.

Is honesty like chivalry? Retired? Is no one honest anymore, the reason why I ask is because Dino Babers promised that all the quarterback run plays were out of the playbook. Yet over the sample size we’ve been provided, it seems that’s not true at all. Dungey’s been the leading rusher for the Orange and that’s not good for him or the team.
