Halftime from the the USF-Elon game

It's halftime here at Raymond James Stadium, with the Bulls leading 7-3 as they head into the locker room.

Here's some of the highlights from the first half for all you dedicated blog readers out there.

Highly touted running back Mike Ford has looked solid so far in his first game as a Bull. The freshman running back lined up twice alongside Benjamin Williams and Jamar Taylor in an interesting three back set, running 12 yards for a first down the on one play and catching a 1-yard touchdown pass from Matt Grothe on another. Ford's touchdown reception was the Bulls' only score of the half.

It appears that receiver Taurus Johnson has picked up right where he left off last season, when he won the USF's Playmaker of the Year award. In the first half of play, the junior had four catches for 45 yards and gained five yards rushing on a reverse play.

Late in the first half, Bulls' safety Nate Allen prevented an Elon scoring opportunity by intercepting a pass from Phoenix quarterback Scott Riddle on the USF 4-yard line.
