Memorable moments

• In the inaugural game in 2010, Kansas State's Adrian Hilburn scored a touchdown with 1:13 left, and then made a military hand salute to the crowd. Hilburn was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. The 15-yard penalty cause Kansas State to try a 2-point conversion from the 17-yard line. It failed and Syracuse won 36-34. The next season, the NCAA changed the celebration rule to penalize not celebrations, but taunting.

• The 2012 game was played in constant snow. Syracuse beat West Virginia 28-15.
