BYU was poised to collect its first win in the Sunshine State — and snap a two-game losing streak — but South Florida instead mounted a comeback in the second half, scoring 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
With the 27-23 loss, BYU dropped its third-straight contest. The Cougars haven’t won since beating USC 30-27 in overtime at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Sept. 14; they also have not played at home since hosting Washington on Sept. 21. Since then, BYU has made two trips out east, with a bye week between games.
