WATCH: How did Syracuse manage a 9-point victory in OT?

Syracuse downed Wake Forest, 39-30 Saturday at the Carrier Dome. The final score is not unusual. What is odd is the Orange won the game by 9 points in overtime.

How can that happen?

Well. the teams went to free football tied at 30. Syracuse managed a field goal in its possession to take a 33-30 lead.

Wake got the ball and was driving for what would have been a winning touchdown until Trill Williams got in the act.

Watch as the Orange sophomore DB from Yonkers, NY, rips the ball from Wake Forest receiver Kendall Hinton at the 4 and racing 96 yards for a defensive touchdown.

And, there you go. Syracuse gets the field goal in overtime and a defensive touchdown and that adds up to a 39-30 victory that concludes the Orange season.
