Week nine proved to USF fans that there’s still a good bit of work to do before the Bulls truly turn the corner. A rainy and sloppy Thursday game against ECU with a backup QB at the helm resulted in a 29-14 loss against the Pirates. A combined seven turnovers between the two schools, and none more costly than a third quarter pick 6 gave ECU the lead for good.
Elsewhere in the American, Friday night gave us vintage Navy football, as they rallied past Tulsa 20-17 after completing zero passes and rushing for 302 yards. C. put on the burners against a downtrodden Temple team, dismissing the Owls 49-7.
