Game Notes

#7 Orangemen prove special in a 26-22 win over the #22 Buffaloes.

Syracuse gets a huge kickoff return while Colorado misses 2 PATs and a chip shot FG attempt, proving to be costly. The biggest play comes after the Buffaloes draw within 19-16 in the 3rd quarter as Kirby Dar Dar returns the kickoff 100 yards for a TD and 10-point lead.

Colorado led 7-6 at the half after a 4th down gamble pays off and Kordell Stewart hits Charles Johnson with a 16-yard TD pass w/ :14 left in the half. However, the Orangemen take the lead for good on David Walker's 13-yard TD run midway through the 3rd quarter. Marvin Graves' 28-yard TD run extends Syracuse's lead to 19-10.
