Game Notes

Bulls get their 1st ever bowl win, shutting down the Pirates for a 24-7 victory.

Benjamin Williams runs for a pair of TDs, and Matt Grothe throws for another before an injury ends his day just before halftime. After Stephen Nicolas recovers a fumble on a bad shotgun snap on East Carolina's 2nd play, Williams scores on a 16-yard TD giving South Florida a quick 7-0 lead.

Williams adds a 1-yard TD before James Pinkney hits Bobby Good for a 48-yard TD pass. But that is the extent of the Pirates' offense. South Florida's defense takes over and Grothe hits Amari Jackson in stride for a 37-yard TD pass, and guides them to a 38-yard FG by Delbert Alvarado.
