Tommy DeVito initially appeared to fumble on this play, but he was ruled down in SU's loss to Notre Dame.

After a 36-3 loss to No. 3 Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium, Syracuse (8-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast) fell to No. 20 in the College Football Playoff rankings. This is the first season that Syracuse has been ranked in the playoff rankings, reaching as high as 12 before its 33-point loss to the Fighting Irish.

Syracuse’s next chance to rise back up the rankings comes this Saturday afternoon against Boston College at Alumni Stadium. The Eagles dropped out of the rankings this week after falling to Florida State this past weekend.
