SYRACUSE, New York — Emmet Kenney hit a 39-yard field goal as time expired to lift Stanford over Syracuse 26-24 on Friday night, giving the Cardinal their first Atlantic Coast Conference victory.

Emmet Kenney hit his fourth field goal of the day with time expiring to give the Stanford Cardinal a 26-24 win over the Syracuse Orange. It’s the first loss of the Fran Brown era. Before the game, Syracuse already found itself on the back foot with inactive players.

Stanford is now 2-1 to start the season and 1-0 in ACC play. The conference looks wide open this year, with some of the teams at the top disappointing thus far. Taylor's team could be poised to make some noise in his second season at the helm.
