Here are five takeaways from Syracuse's 44-38 loss in triple overtime to Virginia on Saturday:
1. What was he thinking?
Down 24-21 late in the fourth quarter, Virginia faced a third-and-15 deep in its own territory. Quarterback Matt Johns dumped the ball off to Albert Reid, who was gang tackled after six yards by several SU defenders. But Syracuse's Zaire Franklin committed a facemask penalty, extending the drive. Later in the drive, UVA's Ian Frye kicked the game-tying field goal to force overtime.
It was reminiscent of Kielan Whitner's personal foul penalty in the fourth quarter last week, which extended a South Florida drive that resulted in a touchdown to put the Bulls up 14 and ultimately put the game away.
