Syracuse Orange starting quarterback Eric Dungey is "probably doubtful" against LSU on Saturday after sustaining a helmet-to-helmet hit last week, coach Scott Shafer said Monday.

Shafer told Cuse.com that Dungey is "doing great. He'll be back when the doctors tell me he can be back, but he's doing a lot better."

Dungey took a hit to the head from Central Michigan defensive lineman Mitch Stanitzek in the second quarter of a 30-27 victory last week. Stanitzek was ejected.

Dungey left the game and didn't return. Already without starting quarterback Terrel Hunt for the season, Syracuse then turned to its third- and fourth-string quarterbacks: Austin Wilson went 4-of-7 for 49 yards with one touchdown and one interception; Zack Mahoney went 4-of-4 for 19 yards.

Shafer said Wilson and Mahoney would compete this week to see who would play.

"We've got two good kids that want to win," Shafer said. "They're good teammates. The kids are going to rally behind them. Both those kids are going to be competing to see who gets to play the most come Saturday. If we use them both, we use them both."
