Anderson, who completed just 6-of-15 passes for 74 yards, rambled in from eight yards to put Syracuse ahaed with 3:40 to go in the first half. Mungro reached the end zone from one yard out with 8:55 left in the third quarter, then scampered 20 yards to make it 28-7 five minutes into the final period. Jason Campbell was 11-of-20 for 155 yards and was sacked four times for Auburn (2-1). Casinious Moore paced the Tigers on the ground with 62 yards on 13 carries. Campbell gave Auburn a 7-0 lead with a 44-yard run midway through the first quarter before tossing a 21-yard TD strike to Chris Butler with 2:38 left in the game. Auburn dropped to 0-4 all-time in New York. Its last appearance in the state was a 7-0 loss to Manhattan College in 1939. The Tigers and Orangemen were meeting for the first time since their 16-16 tie in the 1988 Sugar Bowl.
