SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP)

Andre Szmyt kicked the game-winning 35-yard field goal with no time on the clock as Syracuse used a late turnover to defeat Liberty 24-21 on Friday night.

The Syracuse defense came up with the only turnover of the game - and first of the season for the Flames offense - just when the Orange needed it most. After the Syracuse defense forced Liberty quarterback Malik Willis into fumbling the ball with just under four minutes remaining, Szmyt converted the turnover into the game-winning field goal seven plays later.
