    Kyle McCord thrived Friday night in Syracuse’s clash with No. 25 UNLV.

    McCord went 40 of 63 for 355 yards, three touchdowns and an interception to lead the Orange to a 44-41 victory over the Rebels in overtime. He completed his first 10 passes of the game and added 22 rushing yards. His six-yard touchdown pass to Jackson Meeks with 23 seconds left in regulation forced overtime.

    After entering the game averaging 364.8 passing yards per game, the highest mark in the country, McCord continued to rack up yards through the air against a Rebels team that entered the game with a 4-0 record.

    Junior LeQuint Allen led the Syracuse rushing attack with 19 carries for 71 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning score in overtime. He added nine catches for 58 yards and two more scores. Freshman Yasin Willis also provided a spark on the ground, rushing for 62 yards and a touchdown on just eight attempts.

    Fans were impressed with McCord’s performance and the rest of Syracuse’s offense.

    Kyle McCord takes a stuttering step back to rush for a first descent and he continues to do things I’ve never seen him do before.

    Kyle McCord swings it

    Hajj-Malik Williams started his second consecutive game at quarterback for the Rebels following the departure of Matthew Sluka amid an NIL dispute. He completed 84 percent of his throws for 227 yards, throwing three touchdowns and an interception, while adding 53 rushing yards and a score in the loss.
