Syracuse Football: Orange QB Eric Dungey Even Calls His Own Plays

You knew we had to at least discuss this a LITTLE, right?

According to a quick interview between Syracuse.com's Nate Mink and Orange offensive coordinator Tim Lester, SU quarterback Eric Dungey called a couple plays of his own during Saturday's victory over Wake Forest. Said Lester, "... it's not even in the playbook, and we ran it."

The true freshman apparently messed up some signals on a third and 10 from the Syracuse 29-yard line in the fourth quarter, calling a pass when it was meant to a be run. The result, however, was a 21-yard gain that extended Syracuse's drive and set up the QB's 53-yard touchdown strike to Steve Ishmael just two plays later.
