Relentless: Syracuse football overcomes 18-point deficit to beat Virginia Tech in overtime Nov 03, 2024

Show notes

Brent Axe and Emily Leiker recap Syracuse football's thrilling 38-31 overtime win over Virginia Tech at the JMA Wireless Dome on Saturday afternoon.

Syracuse trailed Virginia Tech 21-3 in the third quarter but out-scored Virginia Tech 35-17 to win in overtime. Brent and Emily discuss how the Orange got its offense going after struggling in the first half. Wide receiver Justus Ross-Simmons' breakout game had a lot to do with that for the Orange with his 55-yard touchdown starting the comeback. The Orange defense made the big plays in the biggest moments with most of those coming from Marlowe Wax, including forcing a fumble in overtime.

Brent and Emily also react to what Fran Brown and players said after the game and to opinions and insight from our Syracuse Sports Insiders.

It was a bittersweet show as Emily announced she is leaving Syracuse.com for a new opportunity. Thank you to Emily for all her great work these past few years. We will miss you!
