Syracuse Overtime Victory Against Virginia Tech

Syracuse football staged an impressive 38-31 overtime comeback victory against Virginia Tech, overcoming an 18-point second-half deficit. Key plays included a 55-yard touchdown by Justus Ross-Simmons and a critical fumble recovery by linebacker Marlowe Wax. Allen's rushing touchdowns were instrumental, including the game-winner in overtime. Despite being favored by 3.5 points, Virginia Tech was unable to secure bowl eligibility with this loss.
