SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Syracuse cornerback Kevyn Scott made an interception in the end zone on the first play of overtime, Ross Krautman kicked four field goals, including the 27-yard winner, and the Orange held off Toledo 33-30 on Saturday.

It was the third straight loss to a BCS team for Toledo (1-3) and the third straight home win for Syracuse (3-1). The Orange won their second OT game this season.

Syracuse gained a 30-27 lead on Ryan Nassib's 18-yard lob to Alec Lemon at the back of the end zone. Officials reviewed the extra point by Krautman, which appeared on a replay to be wide but was allowed to stand.

Ryan Casano's 20-yard field goal on the final play of regulation sent the game into the extra period.

The Rockets were burned when they gambled on first down and Scott wrestled quarterback Austin Dantin's pass away from the intended receiver in the right corner of the end zone.
