Calvin Russell's 4-yard TD catch lifts Syracuse to 31-30 overtime win over North Carolina

Calvin Russell III caught a 4-yard touchdown, and the ensuing two-point conversion attempt, to give Syracuse a 31-30 overtime win over North Carolina

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Mediocre outing as a passer Edwards completed 15 of 25 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-20 win versus Duke. He also had nine rushes for 20 yards.

Impact Edwards was held to under 200 yards through the air and logged an otherwise solid but certainly far from special performance in the win over Duke, as has been the theme for the Wisconsin transfer all season. Edwards has been more of a game manager-type quarterback for the Tar Heels, which isn't conducive to much fantasy production.

Another pedestrian outing Edwards was 18-for-26 passing for 249 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 21-17 win versus Pittsburgh.

Impact North Carolina picked up its first ranked win of the Bill Belichick era, and while Edwards tossed for a season-high 249 yards, he also threw two touchdowns and coughed up a fumble that the Tar Heels ultimately recovered. Edwards is at his best as a game manager and a distributor to his playmakers, which hasn't lended itself to the most productive fantasy outings.

Iffy vs. Notre Dame Edwards completed 17 of 28 passes for 208 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 37-26 defeat to Notre Dame.

Impact Edwards threw three touchdowns for the first time this season, but he also turned the ball over twice for the first time this year and was limited to 208 passing yards against an elite Irish secondary. Losers of two straight, Edwards and North Carolina will look to bounce back in a tough matchup at Pitt in Week 6.

Can't get going through the air Edwards was 13-for-30 passing for 135 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 28-20 defeat to Clemson. He also had six rushes for 14 yards.

Impact Edwards completed fewer than half his passes and threw for less than 150 yards. The Tar Heels' ground game had its way with North Carolina, but Edwards and this passing game was unable to get into a rhythm, and that ultimately came back to haunt North Carolina on its final drive. The former Terp and Badger has offered up some shaky performances this season, and next week, he has to face one of the best defenses in the nation in Notre Dame.

Efficient in FCS blowout Edwards was 15-for-20 passing for 244 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 35-3 victory against East Tennessee State.

Impact Edwards was very efficient for the Tar Heels once again, completing 75 percent of his passes en route to an easy victory over an FCS foe. Edwards isn't going to put up big-time numbers even against a significantly overmatched opponent, but he's off to a very solid start in Chapel Hill.
