Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey, hero of last weekend’s upset special over Clemson, had social media abuzz once again in Week 8 against Miami.
The junior quarterback went airborne in the fourth quarter on the road in Gainesville, taking down Miami defender with a move Jean Claude Van Damme would surely applaud.

People couldn’t stop talking about this incredible takedown.
There is no way Eric Dungey is sane or uninjured right now, pure adrenaline

This game isn’t over but I’m throwing Eric Dungey a BOS nomination in the hat, if that’s cool with you @BillisKing.

Syracuse is down four in the fourth quarter and Eric Dungey's a damn adrenaline-fueled cyborg.

The Orange might not win this game, but it’s clear Dino Babers has his team pumped up to play some of the best teams in the nation. Miami currently leads, 20-16, thanks in large part to Dungey’s heroic effort, with about half the fourth quarter remaining.
