    Big East football roundup

    South Florida 23, Miami 20 (OT)

    Demetris Murray had a 1-yard touchdown run in overtime and South Florida stunned Miami Saturday, sending the Hurricanes to their worst season at home since 1997.

    Bobby Eveld tied the game with a 1-yard run with 2 minutes left in regulation, then got the Bulls back to the 1 with a 9-yard catch by Joel Miller in overtime. Murray went over the top of the pile one play later, and the Bulls (7-4) rushed the field wildly.

    Miami had a chance to win in regulation, but Jacory Harris threw an interception - with the Hurricanes in field goal range - with 5 seconds left.

    Boston College 16, Syracuse 7

    Freshman tailback Andre Williams rushed for 185 yards on a school-record 42 carries and scored one touchdown in place of injured star Montel Harris, Nate Freese kicked three field goals, and Boston College beat host Syracuse.

    It was the fifth straight win for the Eagles (7-5).

    Syracuse (7-5) has had a turnaround season, winning five times on the road, but the Orange finished the regular season without beating an Football Bowl Subdivision team at home.
