Ray Rice rushed 39 times for 181 yards, Tiquan Underwood caught five passes for 114 yards and two TDs, and Mike Teel was 11-29 for 179 yards and 2 TDs but the big story will center around trick plays (a fake field goal for a TD) and defense. The D came up with 7 sacks and a game ending interception as they bent but didn’t break on drive after drive.
USF’s Matt Grothe was 17 of 34 for 247 yards and ran 18 times for 58 yards. But he got sacked 7 times by a gambling RU defense that just kept coming.
The last player to rush for more than 100 yards against the South Florida Bulls was—Ray Rice. On September 29, 2006, Rice ran for 202 yards in RU’s 22-20 victory over the Bulls in Tampa.
The loss ends USF unbeaten string and gives them a 6-1 record, 1-1 in the Big East. Rutgers improves to 5-2, 2-1 in the Big East.

It was a good game although I was not all that happy with the officials..bad calls that could have swung the game for the Bulls and some more that went against Rutgers.
I would like to see them play again..
