SYRACUSE, N.Y. – It's been a year to remember for the Syracuse football program.
Quarterback Eric Dungey's final kneel down to seal the Orange's 34-18 win over West Virginia in the Camping World Bowl closed the book on Syracuse's best season in 17 years. As the game clock expired and the celebrations began, he and running back Dontae Strickland locked in a tight embrace at the 20-yard line – a powerful display of emotion from two of the Orange's most battle-tested seniors.
Dungey, Strickland and rest of the 2018 class endured three consecutive 4-8 seasons before punctuating their careers with a 10-3 campaign that ended with a bowl championship.
