After seven games of less aggressive play, Eric Dungey rekindled memories of his style over the previous two seasons. In trying to extend plays to keep SU competitive with No. 8 Miami last week — despite four first-half interceptions — Dungey took several hits that resurfaced whether his best attribute arguably puts him in harm’s way.

Down 14 in the third quarter on Saturday, he tried to jump over a Miami defensive back. He didn’t get as a high as he would have liked. What resulted was a WWE-style dropkick that put his knee into the defender’s facemask.
