FINAL: Ohio 22-38 Syracuse Despite productive outings from transfers Anthony Tyus III (203 rushing yards) and Coleman Owens (137 receiving yards), Ohio falls short in its opening matchup against Syracuse. @ThePost @ThePostSports

FINAL: Ohio 22, Syracuse 38 If anything, Ohio proved itself as a competitive team against a power-four team. Anthony Tyus III ends the game with 203 rushing yards - one of the best marks in school history.

After a Kyle McCord deep pass is intercepted by Tank Pearson, with 3:38 left to go, fans have begun to leave the stadium. The Bobcats would need two touchdowns, both with a two-point conversion, and a stop to tie the game. @ThePost @ThePostSports

Ohio just got its first turnover of the game, even though it's unlikely to change much in terms of the final outcome. A deep heave down field from Kyle McCord was spectacularly intercepted by Ohio's Tank Pearson. Ohio will retain possession with 3:30 to play, trailing by 16

Ohio was climbing the mountain towards a historic comeback, but now, it has taken a big tumble with a Syracuse interception in enemy territory. Navarro's pass was batted at the line of scrimmage and fell right into the hands of a linebacker. Syracuse has possession.

Parker Navarro's second down pass gets batted up and is picked off by James Heard. Syracuse takes over on the 45 yard line. @ThePost @ThePostSports

Anthony Tyus is officially over 200 yards rushing

Ohio's defense got a stop and the Bobcats will retain possession with 10:41 left. The team needs two touchdowns, two two-point conversions and at least one more stop. But hey, anything is possible. Ohio, 22 Syracuse, 38

32 more rushing yards puts Tyus in the top ten for most rushing yards in a single game in Ohio football history. @ThePost @ThePostSports

Anthony Tyus is up to 191 yards on 14 carries, going for two touchdowns. The bright spot for Ohio, regardless of what the final score ends up being. @ThePost @ThePostSports

Touchdown number two for Anthony Tyus off the run and pitch from Parker Navarro. Ohio is unable to convert on the two-point conversion, keeping the drive at 6 points. Ohio 22-38 Syracuse @ThePost @ThePostSports

Ohio did exactly what it needed, but it's gonna need a lot more. Ohio scored in under two minutes with a 46-yard Anthony Tyus run to cut the Syracuse lead to 16. Ohio, 22 Syracuse, 38

Ohio nearly got a stop in the red zone but a converted fourth and goal from the one-yard line makes it a three score game with under 15 to play. Things are looking bleak for the Bobcats. Ohio, 16 Syracuse, 37

Ohio is unable to make the goal line stop on fourth down as Trebor Pena sweeps for his third touchdown of the game. Ohio 16-38 Syracuse @ThePost @ThePostSports

End Quarter Three: Ohio 16-31 Syracuse Points are imminent for the Orange entering the fourth, which brings it to a three-score lead. Ohio needs everything to go right if it has hopes to come back. @ThePost @ThePostSports

END 3, OHIO 16, SYRACUSE 31 The wheels have fallen off for Ohio. What was once a close game is now on the brink of a three-score deficit. Ohio has had no answer for the Syracuse passing game in this half. Kyle McCord has 344 passing yards and four touchdowns.

After Ohio nearly forced a three-and-out, Syracuse made three big plays and scores. Ohio 16-31 Syracuse @ThePost @ThePostSports

Syracuse now has a two-score lead after a beautiful ball from Kyle McCord to the back corner of the end zone. Once again, Ohio's secondary has no answer for McCord's ability to throw the ball downfield. Ohio, 16 Syracuse, 30

Nothing there for Ohio on its second drive of the half. The Bobcats will punt from their own 19-yard line. @ThePost @ThePostSports

Syracuse RB LeQuint Allen made an impressive one-handed gram on the goal line. Ohio 16-24 Syracuse @ThePost @ThePostSports
