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. The Huskies handed the Cougars their only loss last season, a 20-17 upset in East Hartford. UConn is 0-1 in the American Athletic Conference this year after losing to Navy.Wholesale Air Max . The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U. Air Max From China . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. https://www.airmaxchina.us/ . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and took bronze in 2005. Air Max Sale . Robinson finished with 17 points, all but two in the second half, and Lawson had 14 after halftime and finished with a game-high 11 assists as the Nuggets handed Dallas its first home loss in eight games this season. J.J. Hickson led Denver with 22, and Kenneth Faried added 10 points and 10 rebounds. Cheap Air Max For Sale . Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland. Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total. "I just love the fact I am in contention and have an opportunity in my first tournament of the year here in Abu Dhabi," Mickelson said.A Pakistani player has reportedly accused an English counterpart of doing dirty things to a cricket ball. To some this comes as a surprise and an outrage. To those who know England-Pakistan cricketing relations, a little niggle like this is but a drop in the ocean. Indeed, compared to previous England-Pakistan contests, the summers England-India contest was a love-in. The series was as rancorous as a dispute in an all-boys boarding school; tiffs over Vaseline were as sticky as it got.For this reason I already anticipate with venomous glee the forthcoming series this winter. England versus Pakistan has often gone the same way as recent clashes between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The sport itself seems incidental. The dry pancake pitches of the Middle East dont promise particularly tasty cricket, but with England and Pakistan theres always enough masala off and around the pitch to spice up the play. Other series are kormas and bhunas and jalfrezis; this one is the vindaloo with the warning attached.Relations were not always strained. Writing in the Times in 1954, Sir Pelham Warner applauded a wonderfully spirited series between the two sides: There has not been one even remotely unpleasant incident. Oh, for those rosy days when there was decorum and decency, and people actually read the Times.A year later, all pretensions of friendship were washed away. The MCC were touring Pakistan and took umbrage, shall we say, to the lbw decisions of local umpire Idrees Baig. In Peshawar a group of MCC players kidnapped Beg, tossed him into a tonga, took him back to their hotel, and poured buckets of water over his head. (Thus we can trace the origins of two modern ills to the MCC: the kidnapping of travellers in the Frontier, and waterboarding.)This was a mere aperitif to later argy bargies. The fisticuffs between Mike Gatting and umpire Shakoor Rana are well-documented, as is Aaqib Javeds protestation that a jumper should be handed back on a diamond-studded gold plate, and of course Ian Bothams pro bono work for the Pakistan Tourist Board on behalf of his mother-in-law.Less well known is that an incident similar to Ian Bells non-run-out this summer occurred between the two sides in 1987. Bill Athey ran out Ramiz Raja in a move thhat had less spirit of the game than a spot-fixer on Nandrolone, appealing for a catch grasped two feet underground.dddddddddddd Did captain Mike Gatting recall the batsman? Please. This is England-Pakistan, not an afternoon tea party hosted by the BCCIs public relations chiefs wife.Like on the morning after a vindaloo, the pong of bitterness seems to stick around in the air. People from both countries remember, and make a point of doing so. In one Test in England, Graham Gooch was run out half a mile out of his crease, but somehow the home umpire gave him in. The reaction in Pakistan? Freeze-frame photos of the run-out were plastered on the sides of buses.Pakistans ill-fated tour in 2010 also lingers. An England fan I know says he can never forgive Pakistan for dragging the game into the gutter and ruining his cricket season. It should come as some consolation that many Pakistanis feel the same way about their own sides actions that year.Personally I have always remembered a passage from Mike Marqusees War Minus the Shooting. In Pakistan, during the 1996 World Cup, England wanted to practise on a square but were not permitted because it was the surface for the forthcoming match. An England player allegedly pulled out a 1000-rupee note and asked a senior official to reconsider. An utterly despicable and abominable act: everyone knows that in Punjab such a service would cost at least Rs 1500, plus VAT.On reflection, though, perhaps its better to ignore these antagonisms. Let bygones be bygones; forgive and forget; ignorance is peace. Drinking the world-class Murree Beer with a friend recently, I asked if he knew the origins of the Rawalpindi brewery. No, came the answer, so I told him the companys first owner was the father of General Dyer, he of the 1919 Amritsar massacre. My friend swore off Murree for life, his world forever drier, forever duller. I still dont understand his position. History is history, I say, and beer is beer, and cricket really should be just cricket.Which is all very well until that Jonathan Trott starts on my main man Wahab Riaz again, to which I say: Bring it on.
