Winn Big in UC's Big Win

George Winn ran for 165 yards and three touchdowns as Cincinnati stopped a two-game losing streak, besting the Syracuse Orangemen 35-24.

And by the way, Winn fooled the Syracuse defense by completing a fourth and one pass for his first career touchdown pass.

On the first play of the second quarter, Winn took the hand-off from Munchie Legaux and appeared to rush toward the middle of the line.  He stopped abruptly and lobbed a pass to a wide open Travis Kelce, who scraped off a block and ran untouched into the end zone to complete a 37-yard pass play.

"It was crazy," Syracuse Jay Bromley said. "I saw him (Winn) slow down and thought, 'why is he slowing down'.  It was crazy.  You can't prepare for a play like that.  You just have to take it in the butt and keep playing."

The two teams traded scores most of the afternoon. After Jerome Smith put the Orangemen up 24-21 at the 6:39 mark of the third quarter, the UC defense became stingy.  Syracuse amassed 408 yards in the first three quarters but just 71 the rest of the game.

Kelce caught his second TD pass of the game from backup quarterback, Brendon Kay, with 2:03 left in the quarter.  Less than two minutes later, Winn finished the day's scoring with a two-yard plunge.
