What happened

ESPN RECAP

Syracuse uses late 99-yard drive to beat UConn 31-24.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Syracuse receiver Amba Etta-Tawo is making the most of his final year of college eligibility. The graduate transfer from Maryland caught 12 passes for a school-record 270 yards and two touchdowns and the Orange beat UConn 31-24 on Saturday to snap a two-game losing skid. Etta-Tawo scored twice in the game's first five minutes on touchdown receptions of 57 and 30 yards. His 59-yard catch from the shadow of his team's goal line highlighted a 12-play 99-yard fourth-quarter drive that put the game away for the Orange (2-2). It was his fourth straight game with at least 100 yards receiving. "It goes back to chemistry with the quarterback and the coaches trusting me," Etta-Tawo said.
