After a lackluster performance against a well coached Florida Atlantic University team. The University of South Florida Bulls beat up on the Central Florida Knights.

For a game that UCF coach George O’Leary said was big for recruiting, the Knights sure didn’t play like it. After a close twenty five minutes of football, the Bulls scored 10 quick points to end the half and take a 29 to 10 lead.

Matt Grothe looked great running and throwing. He had three touchdown passes dropped in the first half, all of which traveled over 30 yards in the air. It didn’t matter as the Bulls owned the second half. UCF quit shortly into the third quarter. Kevin Smith was held to under 100 yards rushing for the first time all year and the Bulls have now not allowed a 100 yard rusher for 13 straight games.

I don’t know who paid to built a football stadium for UCF but I hope they have some money left over to buy a football team because I sure didn’t see one in the second half. 

Nice to see the second string Greg Gregory throw for two touchdown passes and third string senior Anthony Severino throw for a touchdown pass as well. The only concern was the lack of playing time for Jamar Taylor. Hope his ankle is not bothering for Thursday game against Rutgers as he only had 3 carries on the day.

Now we see if the USF Bulls are ready for another tough road game Thursday vs Rutgers.

Video from the scene at Raymond James Stadium will be up shortly.
