Kyle McCord broke Deshaun Watson's Atlantic Coast Conference season passing yards record on a 50-yard completion to Darrell Gill Jr. on No. 22 Syracuse's first play of the second half in a 52-35 Holiday Bowl victory overt Washington State on Friday night. McCord, the national passing leader, came in with 4,326 yards, which was fifth on the ACC’s season list, and needed 268 yards to break Watson’s record of 4,593, which he set in 15 games in 2016 at Clemson. McCord broke the record by a yard on the pass to Gil, who made a beautiful over-the-shoulder catch.
