SMU's Second-Half Rally Falls Short in Halloween Loss to Syracuse

Syracuse handed No. 19 SMU a 30-27 defeat at home, ending the Mustangs' comeback hopes in the final seconds.

Steve Angeli connected with Noah Meyers for the decisive 2-yard touchdown pass with only 17 seconds remaining, capping a late 10-point surge by the Orange. SMU had previously erased a 20-10 halftime deficit to take a 27-20 lead in the fourth quarter, fueled by a safety and a Kendrick Raphael touchdown run, but the offense stalled late as Syracuse recorded four sacks.

Kevin Jennings threw for 351 yards and two touchdowns for SMU, while Angeli led the Syracuse effort with both a rushing and passing score.
