TAMPA, FLA., NOV. 6, 2021– The USF football team (2-7; 1-4 American) got electric plays from several players that had Raymond James Stadium roaring, but ultimately fell in a 54-42 shootout with first-place and No. 20-ranked Houston (8-1; 6-0 American) on homecoming.
The Bulls opened the game with a lightning bolt from freshman Brian Battie who caught the opening kickoff at the goal line and raced 100-yards for a touchdown. He would go on to tie an NCAA record by doing it again in the second quarter, this time racing by Cougars to give USF a 28-26 halftime lead.
