Syracuse rallies from big deficit, tops Virginia Tech in OT

LeQuint Allen ran for three touchdowns -- including the late tying score and the decisive score in overtime -- as host Syracuse rallied from an 18-point deficit to stun Virginia Tech 38-31 on Saturday. Allen rushed 21 times for 121 yards, while Justus Ross-Simmons, who came in without a catch on the season, nabbed two TD receptions for the Orange (6-2, 3-2 ACC). Kyle McCord went 24-of-35 passing for 280 yards with two touchdowns and one interception to help Syracuse become bowl-eligible for the third straight season. Virginia Tech (5-4, 3-2) watched its three-game winning streak come to an end despite a productive day from Collin Schlee (16-of-24 passing, 206 yards, TD) and three rushing scores, including one by Schlee.
