  "account": "EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Amari Odom, Syracuse's starting quarterback, orchestrated a thrilling 42-41 overtime victory over UConn in a crucial road game. Odom, who had recently been named the starting QB, completed five touchdown passes and sealed the win with a successful 2-point conversion on the final play of overtime. This marked his first career start for Syracuse. UConn had scored 27 consecutive points, but Odom's strategic playmaking, including a scramble move and a successful 2-point attempt, helped Syracuse claw their way back into the game. After UConn scored a touchdown on its opening overtime possession, Odom connected with Umari Hatcher in the end zone on a 4th-and-goal from the 17-yard line. Additionally, UConn's first overtime play was initially ruled a fumble recovered by Syracuse but later changed to an incomplete pass. Syracuse's Jayden Price intercepted a pass from UConn's Osborne with less than two minutes remaining in the game. Hatcher had a standout performance with 12 catches for 152 yards and three touchdowns for Syracuse, while Cyncir Bowers rushed for 163 yards and two touchdowns for UConn.",
