Syracuse wanted to go for 2 and the win, and HC Gabe Meints left it in his players' hands.

“We were talking in the huddle and I just pulled that play,” Mason Lintz said. “We’d never ran it before."

journalstar.com Syracuse’s late 2-point conversion sends Rockets to first semifinal since 2008 Syracuse usually wins on the ground. Against Cozad, the Rockets threw two 70-yard touchdown passes and converted a late 2-point try to reach the Class C-1 semifinals.
