HONOLULU (AP) — Bryce Archie found Keshaun Singleton over the middle to give South Florida the lead in the fifth overtime and Mac Harris batted down a pass in the end zone to give the Bulls a 41-39 victory over San Jose State on Tuesday night in the Hawaii Bowl.
It was the longest FBS bowl/postseason game since overtime was established in 1996. Previously four games had gone three overtimes. It was the first game involving an American Athletic Conference team to be decided in five overtimes.
South Florida (7-6) has won back-to-back bowl games for the first time since 2016-17.
