NEW ORLEANS -- Quinton Flowers passed for two touchdowns, ran for 138 yards and another score, and No. 16/13 USF extended the nation's longest active winning streak to 12 games with a 34-28 victory over Tulane on Saturday night.
USF (7-0, 4-0 American) also scored at least 30 points in a game for a modern-era record 24th straight time, but needed to hold on after Tulane nearly clawed back from a 27-point hole.
Jonathan Banks passed for two touchdowns for Tulane, and Dontrell Hilliard's tackle-slipping, 16-yard touchdown run made it a one-possession game with 2:45 left.
