Syracuse freshman quarterback Eric Dungey will not play against Boston College on Saturday because of an upper-body injury, according to SU’s injury report, which was released Thursday night.

The quarterback is one of eight players that will be out for Syracuse (3-8, 1-6 Atlantic Coast). That list includes defensive end Luke Arciniega (upper body), wide receiver Sean Avant (lower body), linebacker Parris Bennett (upper body), safety Daivon Ellison (upper body), wide receiver Brisly Estime (lower body), H-back Ben Lewis (upper body) and tight end Kendall Moore (upper body). Cornerback Corey Winfield (lower body) is doubtful for the matchup with the Eagles (3-8, 0-7).

Dungey suffered a hit against Louisville to his head, which whipped back against the ground. He left the game and hasn’t played since. That hit was just one of several he’s taken to the head this season. Dungey was hit against Central Michigan in Week 3 by Mitch Stanitzek, who was thrown out for targeting, and the quarterback left the game. He was also hit high against Virginia in the end zone after leaping a defender for a touchdown.

He has missed games against Louisiana State, Clemson and North Carolina State. The hit against Louisville came when Syracuse was down 31 points in the fourth quarter and now-fired head coach Scott Shafer said he was left in because the Cardinals muffed a punt that gave him hope SU might come back.
