I don't need to remind you of what occurred during the Syracuse Orange victory over the Central Michigan Chippewas. No, this is just about the specifics of how we got to that final result. Plenty to discuss in the weeds, of course. But with that, we'll try to avoid harping on Eric Dungey's injury wherever possible.
