Syracuse Football Spring Preview: Top 5 things to watch out for

1. Eric Dungey’s health status

I feel like the past three years of me writing this Spring Preview top things to watch out for, Eric Dungey is No. 1 on the list every year. For better or for worse, he has been and it has been a similar message every year. How is Dungey recovering from offseason surgery or injury.

Sadly that is the case again. Dungey is rehabbing and recovering from offseason foot surgery. It’s still unclear if we’re going to see him in tonight’s game. I would expect we would.

Although either way it kind of works out. If he plays that’s great because we want to see how he looks and hope that maybe the fourth time is the charm in terms of his health. If he can’t go, that means more DeVito time which I don’t think any SU fan will complain about.

But here’s the thing, Dungey can’t be blamed for his durability issues. I’ve seen this kid develop over the last several years and he’s done everything right in the workout room. He’s got a chiseled frame, his mind is right, but you can’t protect yourself from concussions. If he’s healthy, Dungey should be one of the top quarterbacks in the entire ACC.
