This past Saturday, Syracuse head coach Dino Babers benched Senior Starting Quarterback Eric Dungey late in the 4th quarter in the Orangemen’s home matchup versus UNC, and brought in Redshirt Freshman Tommy DeVito. Dungey was 17 of 33 for 225 yards when he was taken out. DeVito proceeded to throw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Nykeim Johnson with 1:39 left in regulation to tie the game to and send it to overtime. He threw two more touchdown passes in the two overtime periods, leading the Orangemen to a 40-37 come-from-behind ACC victory over the Tar Heels. DeVito finished the game 11 of 19 for 181 yards with 3 touchdowns (1 interception).
