Syracuse hasn't been able to put away Villanova in the early going of their season-opening matchup against the FCS squad, and it won't get any easier: Their starting quarterback, Terrel Hunt, opted to throw a punch at a Wildcat player, earning him an ejection and forcing the Orange to go with unproven freshman Austin Wilson.Hunt was being tackled to the ground following a run late in the second quarter when linebacker Dillon Lucas made contact with his helmet. Before getting up, Hunt punched Lucas on the facemask.Penalty flags immediately flew, and Hunt was automatically ejected.Up 10-7 with 3:24 left before halftime, Hunt didn't like the way he was tackled by linebacker Joey Harmon and decided to let him know. Considering he ends up punching Harmon's helmet, it's a rather dumb way to let him know.Hunt was ejected from the game for his punch, and it'll be interesting to see if Syracuse coach Scott Shafer hands out any further punishment. It's completely understandable that Hunt would be upset if he felt the Nova player came in late, but you just have to be smarter than that. Especially if you're the quarterback.
