Kicking woes

On third down, Matt Grothe was sacked for a 13-yard loss and Delbert Alvarado missed his second kick of the third quarter, keeping the score at 17-14 Auburn with 1:04 remaining.

Tyrone McKenzie just recovered another fumble from Mario Fannin, giving the Bulls yet another opportunity to either tie or take the lead.

But the drive took a step backwards with a false start, setting up a first-and-15 from the 23.

Grothe has been sacked again, taking USF out of field goal range, third-and-18 from the 31.

Mike Ford took a pass from Grothe back down to the 20, setting up a 37-yard attempt from Alvarado that was blocked. The Bulls special teams have lost three opportunities to either tie or take the lead.

After three, Auburn 17 USF 14
