More Bonani: USF up 31-10 at halftime
Given the ball on his 36 with 0:57 left in the half, Matt Grothe found receiver Marcus Edwards for a 32-yard gain, setting up Maikon Bonani's 32-yard field goal for a 31-10 halftime lead at N.C. State.
How dominant has USF been? The Bulls have outgained the Wolfpack 354-63 -- the school record for total offense, if you're wondering, is 580 yards, set against Liberty in 2001. First downs? USF has a 19-4 edge there.
Defensive linemen George Selvie and Terrell McClain haven't played tonight, and given the scoreboard, there's little reason to think they'll get in. USF has used Aaron Harris, Sampson Genus and Keith McCaskill at tackle, with Chris Robinson rotating in to help Jarriett Buie and Craig Marshall at end ...
It's still raining hard here ...
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
Can we get to half a hundred?

This long ball that NC has thrown has got to stop. That is how you let teams think they are getting back into the game

The long ball seems to be problem that's been plaguing us most of the year. The defense has been doing pretty well except for that and a general lack of big plays (forced turnovers, sacks)

Of course, right as I post that last comment we get a pick. Which is good, the more turnovers we force the better!
