The Syracuse Orange absolutely refused to quit on Saturday night.

Undaunted by a 23-3 halftime deficit, the Orange stormed back against South Florida in Tampa to beat the Bulls 37-36.

Syracuse scored 21 quick points after trailing by 20 at halftime to take a one point lead at 24-23 in the 3rd quarter.

South Florida would rally to recapture a 9 point lead at 33-24 before Syracuse would rally once again.

Down 36-31 with less than two minutes to play, Ryan Nassib drove the Orange down the field and connected with Alec Lemon for a one yard touchdown pass with three seconds to play to win the game 37-36.

The win improves SU's record to 4-4 overall, and 3-1 in Big East play.
