It's a record: USF, 28-0, in the first ...
The only thing stopping USF's offense is the back of the end zone tonight: Four drives, four touchdowns and we're still in the opening quarter, as the Bulls lead Tennessee-Martin 28-0.
The latest score is a 12-yard run by Ben Williams, which gives the Bulls their highest-scoring first quarter ever and matches the most points ever in any quarter -- it's been done five times before.
USF has only run 18 offensive plays, and none of the Bulls' scoring drives have been longer than five plays. USF has more points than UTM has yards, though it'll be tough to keep that going.
Unsung in all of this is superb punt returning by Marcus Edwards -- he already has returns of 39, 21 and 22 yards, setting USF up in great field position for each of their touchdown drives.
Remember, USF needed an entire game against a I-AA team in last year's opener to get to 28 points in beating Elon. To sum up the opening quarter: No penalties for USF, no incompletions, no offensive plays that failed to gain yards. UTM has yet to advance farther than USF's 31-yard line.


Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
