Did we say the Bulls needed a big drive? Mike Ford found his rhythm and rushed seven times for 52 yards, then Matt Grothe threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Jessie Hester to put the Bulls up 21-20 on Pittsburgh with 5:57 to play.
Ford, who entered the drive with just 19 yards on six carries, broke three consecutive 9-yard runs to open the drive, then broke loose for 14 yards. After a 12-yard Grothe scramble, Ford went for 12 yards, and two plays later, Grothe had another highlight play, rolling out left, stopping and lobbing a pass to a wide-open Hester for the go-ahead touchdown.
USF's defense now has a lead to protect -- can they stop Pittsburgh from doing the same thing?
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
