Rutgers 38, Syracuse 14

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- Ray Rice ran for 196 yards and three touchdowns and Rutgers ended a two-game losing streak with a 38-14 victory over Syracuse on Saturday.
Rice scored on TD runs of 7, 1 and 2 yards for the Scarlet Knights (4-2, 1-1 Big East), who dropped out of the Top 25 after last week's loss to Cincinnati. Kenny Britt chipped in with six catches for 176 yards and one TD, helping Rutgers overcome an early 14-0 deficit in its first road game.
Syracuse (1-6, 1-2), a week after allowing the most points ever in a home game -- a 55-14 loss to West Virginia -- started strong but allowed too many big plays.
Behind Mike Teel's passes to Britt and the power running of Rice, Rutgers scored 24 straight points to close the first half. Meanwhile, the defense sacked quarterback Andrew Robinson six times and held the Orange scoreless after the first nine minutes.
Rice, with the 18th 100-yard game of his career, tied Amos Zereoue of West Virginia for fifth in the Big East with 38 touchdowns.
