Everything and everyone is replaceable. It’s a fact of life, as most of us are keenly aware, but the truism came and smacked everyone directly in the face on Saturday afternoon at the Carrier Dome.
With Eric Dungey struggling and the Syracuse Orange down 27-20 to a lesser North Carolina Tar Heels squad, Dino Babers finally made the call we all knew could happen at some point or another: Tommy DeVito took over as SU’s quarterback.
Had he lost, it would’ve probably opened up a spirited conversation about which passer made more sense and which could potentially do a better job leading us to needed victories as the season drew to a close.
