Both the Syracuse Orange and Pittsburgh Panthers have moved the ball with ease this afternoon, but it's SU that finds itself on top due to some timely touchdown passes by Eric Dungey. The first, a 20-yarder off of play action to Ervin Philips, established the early lead. Dungey's second, to Steve Ishmael from inside the five, came with just over a minute remaining in the half to break a 10-10 tie.
Unfortunately, a boneheaded penalty by Ryan Norton and a completely botched bit of coverage by the Syracuse secondary set up the last-second field goal by Pitt's Chris Blewitt to narrow the Orange lead to four.
