South Florida Dominates South Carolina State 63-14
South Florida overwhelmed South Carolina State in Week 4, cruising to a 63-14 victory behind dominant third-quarter execution. The Bulls covered the 36-point spread while pushing the game over the 56.5-point total.
South Carolina State managed just 14 points, scoring a touchdown in the second quarter and another in the fourth. Quarterback Ryan Stubblefield led the Bulldogs with 84 passing yards but was intercepted by Mac Harris, who returned it 93 yards for a touchdown in the opening period—the game's most impactful play.
South Florida's defense suffocated the Bulldogs' offense, forcing several critical mistakes including a blocked punt return for a touchdown by Ashton Mosley in the third quarter. The Bulls scored 35 points in that dominant third frame.
Offensively, South Florida was led by running back Sam Franklin's 91 rushing yards, including a 54-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Receiver Alvon Isaac added nine receptions for the home team.
The lopsided contest saw South Florida establish control early and never relinquish it, capping a successful Week 4 performance.
