Tommy DeVito scored on a 3-yard run and hit tight end Ravian Pierce with a 3-yard score, and Syracuse overcame an injury to starting quarterback Eric Dungey to beat Florida State 30-7 on Saturday in the sweltering heat of the Carrier Dome.
Dungey was hurt late in the second quarter after a late hit to the helmet and never returned as the Orange took a slim 6-0 lead into the break.
Last year in Tallahassee, Dungey suffered a broken right foot on the Orange's fourth play from scrimmage, sat out most of the first half, and returned to nearly lead Syracuse to an upset.
