Trick Play Gives Bearcats a Brief Lead

Facing a fourth and one from the Syracuse 37,  Cincinnati quarterback Munchie Legaux handed off to George Winn on a plunge up the middle.

But Winn stopped, jumped and lobbed the ball to Travis Kelce, who slipped behind the closing defensive backs.  Winn's first career touchdown pass gave the Bearcats a 14-10 lead, one play into the second quarter.

Syracuse drove 67 yards in eight plays but Colerain grad Brandon Mills blocked the 25-yard field goal attempt.

However, Syracuse recovered Ralph David Abernathy IV's fumble that thwarted Cincinnati's 69-yard drive at the Orangemen's 11 yard line.

Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib led the Orangemen on a 10-play, 89-yard drive.  Nassib's 14-yard pass to Alec Lemon put Syracuse ahead 17-14 at the half.
