Syracuse opened up a 6-0 lead following field goals of 46 and 34 yards from John Biskup. In the second quarter, quarterback Kordell Stewart threw a 7 yard touchdown pass to Sean Embree to give Colorado a 7-6 lead. That would close out the first half scoring.

With 6:22 left in the third quarter, tailback David Walker scored on a 13 yard touchdown run. Up 12-7, Syracuse opted for two, but failed, leaving the score at 12-7, Syracuse. Colorado's Mitch Berger connected on a 38 yard field goal with 3:10 left in the quarter, to cut the lead to 12-10.

Facing a third and 10 on Colorado's 28 yard line, Marvin Graves took it himself, and ran 28 yards for a touchdown, increasing Syracuse's lead to 19-10 with 1:33 in the quarter. Colorado running back James Hill burst for 61 yards a few plays later, to set up a 16 yard slant pass from Stewart to Charles Johnson. The all-important extra point was missed, and Syracuse held on to a 19-16 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, Dar Dar took it and scored on a dazzling 100 yard kickoff return, increasing the lead to 26-16. Following a 6 yard touchdown run, Colorado pulled to within 26-22, but the extra point missed. The kicking game decided the outcome of the game.
