Syracuse QB Dungey’s video-game play clinches West Virginia’s doom

ORLANDO, Fla. – Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray was like a video game character come to life against West Virginia. But Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey ended up with the individual play against the Mountaineers that looked more like it belonged on a pixelated field than a real one.

To be specific, it looked like something from the old Nintendo game Tecmo Bowl, which allowed quarterbacks to still heave the ball downfield no matter how far backwards they scrambled.

On a first down from the West Virginia 47, Dungey took a shotgun snap and began his retreat.
