South Florida Thrashes UTSA 55-23 To Tighten AAC Race

Powered by two first-quarter defensive touchdowns alongside a near-flawless Byrum Brown, the Bulls vaulted into an AAC tie.

Overview

  • Quarterback Byrum Brown went 14 of 15 for 239 yards with two passing touchdowns and added 109 rushing yards and a score for 348 total yards.
  • USF’s defense scored twice early as Tavin Ward returned the game’s first snap for a 40-yard interception TD and Fred Gaskin ran back an 85-yard fumble after a Jarvis Lee strip-sack.
  • The Bulls built a 45-10 halftime lead behind explosive plays, including a 59-yard Nykahi Davenport run and two Keshaun Singleton touchdown receptions.
  • The victory moved South Florida to 7-2 (4-1 AAC), creating a three-way tie with Memphis and North Texas, a half-game behind Navy.
  • UTSA dropped to 4-5 (2-3 AAC) as starter Owen McCown was pulled at halftime, and the Roadrunners’ conference road losing streak reached eight, putting bowl hopes under pressure.
