EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Syracuse receiver Amba Etta-Tawo is making the most of his final year of college eligibility.The graduate transfer from Maryland caught 12 passes for a school-record 270 yards and two touchdowns and the Orange beat UConn 31-24 on Saturday to snap a two-game losing skid.Etta-Tawo scored twice in the games first five minutes on touchdown receptions of 57 and 30 yards. His 59-yard catch from the shadow of his teams goal line highlighted a 12-play 99-yard fourth-quarter drive that put the game away for the Orange (2-2).It was his fourth straight game with at least 100 yards receiving.It goes back to chemistry with the quarterback and the coaches trusting me, Etta-Tawo said. They trust that Ill make the plays and they keep on giving me opportunities to make the plays.Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey completed 26 of 40 passes for 407 yards and those two scores. He also scored on a 6-yard run to complete the length-of the field drive.We had to do it, said Etta-Tawo. We had to drive down the field and try to put the game out, and thats exactly what we did. Everybody dug in, dug a little deeper.Noel Thomas had 14 receptions for 111 yards for UConn (2-2). Huskies running back Arkeel Newsome ran for 81 yards and a touchdown.It took Syracuse just 51 seconds on its first drive and 92 seconds on its second for Dungey and Etta-Tawo to make it 14-0. Etta-Tawo had five catches for 115 yards in the first quarter.I think hes already passed his previous career high as a collegian in the first four games with us, (more than) his whole entire career he had at the other school, coach Dino Babers said. I think, if you asked him, I think he might have made a good choice (to transfer).The Huskies responded by scoring twice in the second quarter and for the second straight week, the Orange couldnt hold the early double-digit lead.We cant just go up 14-0, 17-0 in the beginning of the game and then put ourselves back in a dog fight, said linebacker Zaire Franklin, who was in on 14 tackles. Some of these games weve got to have it over by the beginning of the second quarter.Cordell Hudson pickup off a tipped pass from UConn quarterback Bryant Shirreffs and ran 22-yards down the left sideline for a touchdown that gave the Orange a 24-17 lead. It was just the second interception for the Orange this season.The Huskies had a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter after holder Tyler Davis, a former high school quarterback, hit tight end Tommy Myers with a 17-yard pass on a fake field goal to set the Huskies up at the Syracuse 8-yard line.But Syracuses defense held, and linebacker Franklin stopped Shirreffs on a fourth-and goal from the 2-yard line with just over 6 minutes left. The Orange marched the length of the field to put the game away.Going back, I would probably buy some more time and throw it to the back of the end zone, said Shirreffs, who threw a 24-yard touchdown to Davis with 33 seconds left to make the final score close. I came up short. The linebacker made a good play and I didnt.THE TAKEAWAYSYRACUSE: Etta-Tawo showed that he is an elite receiver. He beat UConns best defensive back, Jamar Summers in single coverage all afternoon. His 270 receiving yards tops the Syracuse record previously held by Scott Schwedes against Boston College in 1985. Hes now the only Syracuse receiver to record two 200-yard receiving games in the same season.UCONN: Since the start of last season, 11 of UConns 17 games have been decided by a single score (eight points or fewer). The Huskies are now 6-5 in those games.GOAL LINEThis was the second time this season the Huskies have been stuffed at the goal line in the fourth quarter. They lost to Navy 28-24 earlier this year when Ron Johnsons second-down run with 16 seconds left was stopped and UConn could not get off another play.UP NEXTSYRACUSE: The Orange close out their non-conference schedule next Saturday at noon when they play Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.UCONN: The Huskies return to conference play with a visit to Houston on Thursday night.

PROVO, Utah -- The wait is over for Tanner Mangum.The BYU sophomore quarterback sat most of 2016 despite setting several freshman records in 2015 after Taysom Hill suffered a season-ending foot injury. Hill won the job back as a fifth-year senior, but will miss the final game of his career due to an elbow injury. Mangum will start the Poinsettia Bowl against Wyoming (8-5) on Dec. 21 and take over what should be his team for the foreseeable future.Mangum doesnt see the game as a launch pad for next season, but he has been patiently waiting for this moment.It was a test for me to keep that long-term perspective, Mangum told The Associated Press on Tuesday. While youre going through that, it can be tough to see that. It can be tough as a competitor wanting to compete. But you have to learn how to be a teammate and learn how to support your teammates and be there for them through the ups and the downs.Looking back, Im definitely grateful for the experience I had and the lessons I learned. I think its helped prepare me now to be able to play in this last bowl game and help the team finish strong.Sitting behind Hill allowed Mangum to learn the new pro-style scheme implemented by offensive coordinator Ty Detmer and the first-year coaching staff at BYU (8-4). He gained a better understanding of how to be selfless and push himself in practices despite limited reps and the unlikelihood of seeing the field. That can be a humbling experience after throwing for 3,337 yards and 23 touchdowns as a freshman.Those are times where, mentally, youre kind of learning on the run, Detmer said. (Mangums) been on the headsets every game, so hes hearing the end-game, play-by-play coaching points. Overall, that maturity level, having an offseason that he didnt have the year before, all of it has really played into his favor.dddddddddddd.With the new system, kind of learn through someone else. And then be ready to go now. ... Obviously, hes going to be a great player here and were excited that hes here and a part of it. When he looks back on it, I think hell really appreciate the time that he had to sit and learn and listen and take it all in and not have to take the bumps and bruises while youre doing it.Mangum said the game has slowed down this season and that has helped his confidence. He focused on recognizing defensive coverages and being able to audible at the line of scrimmage. Last year, Mangum was thrust into the starting lineup just months after returning from a two-year Mormon mission.The offense wont change dramatically with Mangum under center, Detmer said, despite the different styles of play. Hill was more of an athlete with the ability to create with his legs. Mangum prefers to remain in the pocket as a pure passer.Obviously, quarterbacks have different preferences and different things that they like, Detmer said. So, well try to stick with what Tanner feels most comfortable with, especially not having the most reps this year. But you also look at what you feel like he does the best and try to pair those two.Senior receiver Mitchell Juergens added, We know Tanners going to sling the rock. As receivers, we just have to be ready to catch and make plays and make his job easier.Still, BYU players are disappointed in the way the Hill era ended. His 75 total touchdowns rank No. 5 in school history and his 9,744 yards of total offense rank No. 4. Hills 2,815 rushing yards are the most by a quarterback in BYU history.---More college football http://collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
