Syracuse football: The case to play QB Tommy DeVito against No. 22 N.C. State

Editor's note: As Syracuse football prepares to host No. 22 North Carolina State, head coach Dino Babers has declined to make clear who will play quarterback, Eric Dungey and/or Tommy DeVito. To provide readers with a better understanding of Babers' perspective, beat writers Stephen Bailey and Nate Mink have been given an assignment: make a case for SU to play each quarterback.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Coming into the season, the biggest separator between Eric Dungey and Tommy DeVito was game experience.

Dungey had most of three seasons of experience in a conference littered with NFL-level defensive players coached by some of the smartest minds in the country; DeVito was performing well in practice, albeit against his own defense.
