Rutgers beats Syracuse 19-16 in double OT
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - San San Te kicked a 47-yard field goal in the second overtime and seconds later the Rutgers defense recovered a fumble by Syracuse's Antwon Bailey, giving the Scarlet Knights a 19-16 victory Saturday in the Big East opener for both teams.
Bailey began the game by losing a fumble and ended it just seconds after defensive back Khaseem Greene limped off the field with an injury. He was replaced by Edmond Laryea, who forced Bailey's fumble. Bailey appeared to be down on a television replay, but the ruling on the field was upheld, sending the Scarlet Knights (3-1, 1-0) into a frenzy after they had huddled along their sideline waiting. In the first overtime, both teams faced fourth-and-1 inside the 5-yard line and opted to kick field goals, with Ross Krautman converting from 19 yards for the Orange (3-2, 0-1) and Te from 27.
