LAS VEGAS – LeQuint Allen drove into the end zone from a yard out in overtime to give Syracuse a 44-41 victory over No. 25 UNLV on Friday night, four days after the Rebels broke into AP Top 25 history for the first time in the program.

After Caden Chittenden made a 41-yard field goal to give UNLV (4-1) a 41-38 lead in overtime, the Orange (4-1) used eight plays and gave it away with Allen’s fourth touchdown of the game.

Kyle McCord was 40 of 63 for 355 yards, three touchdowns and one interception for Syracuse.

Allen rushed 19 times for 71 yards and two scores, and had nine catches for 58 yards and two more scores.

UNLV’s Hajj-Malik Williams completed 21 of 25 passes for 227 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.

Ricky White III had 10 catches for 135 yards and a touchdown.

Trailing by seven with less than three minutes left, the Orange drove 75 yards in 11 plays to tie the score, with Jackson Meeks catching a 6-yard TD pass with 23 seconds left.

The Rebels opted to kneel on their first play of the final drive in regulation, sending UNLV to its first overtime game since 2021, a three-way overtime loss to Eastern Washington.
