Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord threw four first-half interceptions (including three returned for touchdowns) on Thursday evening at No. 19 Pittsburgh.

The Ohio State transfer enjoyed a phenomenal six-game start this season, completing 65.6 of his passes for 2,160 yards and 19 touchdowns (six picks) en route to guiding Syracuse to a 5-1 record.

But the first half was nothing short of a nightmare, and McCord went on to finish the game 35-of-64 for 321 yards and five interceptions.

Syracuse first got the ball after forcing a three-and-out. However, McCord soon threw an interception to Rasheem Biles, who returned the ball 35 yards for the game-opening score.
