Senior quarterback Eric Dungey turned to his right and looked at Oklahoma-transfer running back Abdul Adams. Dungey had just capped off a storied career, winning the Camping World Bowl MVP as he led No. 20 Syracuse (10-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast) to a 34-18 victory over No. 16 West Virginia (8-4, 6-3 Big 12).
