About This Game
The scoreboard said it was a shootout, but the story was one of two offenses trading blows until a late drive decided it. SMU answered Syracuse's early push and got the first lead on a 26-yard Steve Angeli run in the first quarter. From there the Mustangs kept pressing, reaching the end zone six times and adding four field goals across 23 drives.
The middle of the game belonged to SMU's offense. Syracuse's defense was under heavy pressure, and the Mustangs built a 20-10 lead by halftime after a 1-yard Ahmad Miller run. Syracuse did not fold, though. Yamir Knight's 14-yard catch from Kevin Jennings in the third quarter cut the margin to 20-17, and a Team Safety in the fourth quarter tightened it again.
The fourth quarter swung on a late Syracuse drive. Angeli found tight end Noah Meyers for a 2-yard touchdown with 17 seconds left, turning a 27-23 deficit into a 30-27 win.
