The Bulls rebounded from a tough 35-23 win at Florida Atlantic last weekend by handedly defeating Central Florida 64-12 in their first home game as a top ten team.
The game might have been the last meeting in Tampa between the schools, with the Bulls’ rout of the Knights further validating USF’s insistence that the game is not a true rivalry. Today's win makes USF 3-0 all-time against UCF. The last scheduled meeting between the teams — which are located less then 100 miles away from each other — is next year in Orlando.
Quarterback Matt Grothe had his second consecutive 100-yard rushing day, running for 100 yards on 16 carries and scoring two touchdowns. The sophomore also completed 15 of 28 passes for 212 yards and two scores.
When Grothe was taken out in the third quarter with the score 42-12, back up Grant Gregory took over the offense and found success as well. Gregory was 4-of-6 for 125 yards and two touchdowns in the game. Third string quarterback Anthony Severino got involved as well, throwing for a 28-yard touchdown pass on his only completion of the game.
Defensive end George Selvie finished the game with five tackles, one sack and four tackles for a loss. A week after breaking the USF single season sack record, the sophomore took down the school’s record for tackles for a loss in a season. He has 20.5 for the year.
