There were the touchdown passes of 60 and 22 yards to Chris Givens and a crushing 16-yard score on third-and-goal to Michael Campanero. But a first-down completion to Danny Dembry at the Syracuse 2 early in the fourth quarter was his last, and the Demon Deacons fell in overtime, 36-29, on Thursday night after leading by 15 early in the fourth quarter. "It's disappointing," said Price, who was 18 of 31 for 289 yards. "You don't want to end the game like that. But we're going to bounce back." The clutch completion to Dembry was nullified by a holding penalty that sent Price to the sidelines with an injury. He never returned. "I tried to get back in there," said Price, who had his helmet on and was running on the sideline in hopes of returning. "The doctors said I'd be all right, but the coaches said it's a long season and there's no point in further hurting yourself." Source nbcsports.com | | |
