ESPN RECAP

Calvin Russell's 4-yard TD catch lifts Syracuse to 31-30 overtime win over North Carolina

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- , Calvin Russell III caught a 4-yard touchdown, and the ensuing two-point conversion pass, to give Syracuse a 31-30 overtime win over North Carolina on Saturday night. The Tar Heels (4-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) had opened overtime with a Demon June 3-yard touchdown catch. “The touchdown, it was just a matter of demanding the ball,” said Russell, who finished with 86 yards on eight catches. Syracuse (3-4, 1-4) trailed 20-10 into the fourth quarter, but its offense came alive with a pair of touchdowns. The Orange were poised to take the lead following Tylik Hill 's 3-yard touchdown run with 1:54 left. But Shay Barker missed the extra-point attempt, keeping the game tied 23-23. Syracuse's offense, stagnant for most of the game, got the big play it was looking for to help secure its first ACC win.
