With tackles for loss and Mikel Jones’ interception, Syracuse’s defense recorded more yards (41) on Saturday than Tommy DeVito did through the air.
SU’s punt returners outgained DeVito’s arm by 20, and so did their penalty yards.
DeVito’s 32 passing yards on 22 dropbacks, a career-low for a game with at least 10 pass attempts, represent a low-point for the redshirt junior. One second-quarter flick of the wrist from DeVito’s understudy, Rex Culpepper, more than doubled his yards total, fueling curiosity as to whom Syracuse’s best option is.
