UH beats USF for eighth straight win

An offensive explosion of 646 yards powered UH football to its eighth straight win, defeating USF 54-42 on Saturday night at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

The first half was the Brian Battie show, as the USF sophomore running back scored every time he touched the ball.

Battie started things off with a bang, taking the opening kickoff 100 yards to the house to give the Bulls a lead just seconds into the game.

A few drives later, UH tied the game as junior quarterback Clayton Tune threw a perfect ball to the back of the end zone that senior receiver Jake Herslow high-pointed and got a foot down in-bounds to secure the catch.
