Syracuse beat former Big East rival UConn thanks for another big day from Amba Etta-Tawo, who had a school-record 270 yards receiving and two touchdown catches. In four games, he has 706 yards receiving. But two big defensive plays helped too -- a pick-6 and fourth-quarter goal line stand were also big reasons for the win.

Syracuse has given up its fair share of big plays on defense this season, but the Orange D has been known to make a few plays of its own. A pick-6 from Cordell Hudson off a tipped pass gave the Orange a 24-17 lead. That was their fifth defensive touchdown since the start of last season, tied for third in FBS over that span.
