SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) -- Fran Brown said earlier in the week that he was expecting a "dog fight" against UConn and the head coach was indeed right about that. The Huskies led 17-6 deep into the fourth quarter, but the Orange rallied for two touchdowns in the final 5:41 to help force overtime. 'Cuse then scored again in overtime to earn an improbable 27-20 victory.

SU got the ball first and drove the length of the field, only to have that drive stall. Facing a 4th-and-1 inside the UConn 10, Dan Villari was stopped short on a sneak attempt.

The Huskies got on the board on the first play of the second quarter. UConn quarterback Joe Fagnano swung out a lateral to wide receiver John Neider. Neider came up throwing and found a wide-open Alex Honig for a 15-yard touchdown.
