The USF Bulls fought back to defeat the South Carolina Gamecocks 46-39 in overtime in the Birmingham Bowl Thursday afternoon.
Despite blowing an 18-point lead, the Bulls (11-2) never trailed in the game and forced five turnovers, including a Khalid McGee fumble recovery on the final play of the game after Mike Love sacked Gamecock quarterback Jake Bentley on fourth down.
USF’s possession in overtime lasted one play, their 12th such scoring drive of the season. Quinton Flowers scrambled out of the pocket and found tight end Elkanah Dillon in the end zone for a 25-yard touchdown.
