First Quarter
After an Alta punt, Syracuse’s Ledger Wight showed off his scrambling abilities when he was flushed from the pocket on third down. He tucked the ball and picked up a ton of yardage, moving his team into Hawk territory.
The drive ended when a 60-yard field goal attempt from Skyler Orton fell short.
Alta’s second drive ended in a punt, but a well-placed ball was downed at the one-yard line. The first period ended with the Titans approaching the 50-yard line.
Second Quarter
Alta’s Evan Morton ended the drive with a highlight interception off a tip drill in the end zone. The turnover kept Syracuse off the scoreboard.

The Titans blocked a last-second Alta FG attempt to preserve the 8-7 halftime advantage.
A series of penalties and self-imposed mistakes on both sides marred the opening 24 minutes.
Third Quarter
Wight threw an ugly interception early in the period, but a roughing the passer flag erased the turnover.
Minutes later, the Wight to Lessee connection struck again. This time, a 30-yard deep ball gave the Titans a 15-7 lead.

The yellow laundry continued to be an issue for both teams. Syracuse tried to give possessions away with holding calls and procedural penalties, and Alta handed them extra downs with a series of personal fouls.
Syracuse’s second drive of the half ended with a long field goal to take an 18-7 lead.
Alta struck immediately with an 80-yard touchdown play.
Tucker Brown hit a wide-open Evan Morton across the middle, and the wideout did the rest, pulling away from the defense for six points.
