Grothe leads USF to touchdown, 11-11 tie
USF quarterback Matt Grothe is finding his rhythm, eluding a sack with a highlight-reel touchdown pass of 21 yards to Taurus Johnson. The Bulls went for two -- again, I don't like the call -- and Grothe lobbed a pass to tight end Cedric Hill to tie the Sun Bowl at 11-11 with 7:04 left in the first half.
Grothe went 6-for-8 for 54 yards on the drive, hitting four different receivers (five if you count Hill).
Watch out, Sun Bowl record books: In 73 years of these games, the all-time mark for combined penalties is 18; the two teams have already combined for 16 flags in this game.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
Grothe shows why he is the best QB in the nation. He should have won the Heisman!!

Seems like these MAC officials are having trouble keeping up with speed on both side and they can't keep the flags in their pockets.

It's a full-blown flag-fest.
