TAMPA, Fla. — Darius Tice rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns as No. 21/17 USF beat defending American Athletic Conference champion Temple 43-7 on Thursday night for its school-record ninth consecutive victory.
The Bulls (4-0) have not lost since falling by 16 points to Temple last October in Philadelphia — a setback that wound up costing them a berth in The American Championship.
Tice scored on runs of 47 and 3 yards. Quinton Flowers, coming off accounting for 386 yards and five TDs in a 24-point blowout of Illinois, also ran for two touchdowns to take sole possession of first place on the Bulls' career rushing TD list with 34.
