Fourth Quarter (5:35): Houston 49, USF 21

The 5-foot-8-inch junior running back, Chandler Smith, has had an impressive game for Houston. He had a 24-yard rush that set up the six-yard touchdown catch by Christian Trahan.

Fourth Quarter (10:22): Houston 42, USF 21

Houston quarterback Clayton Tune gets his first blemish of the night by throwing an interception on a pass that was intended for Keith Corbin.

Fourth Quarter (11:50) Houston 42, USF 14

Houston got USF in a fourth and goal situation with the ball at UH’s 12-yard line, but a pass interference call on D.J. Small provided a new set of downs for the Bulls, which they did not let go to waste.

A two-yard pass from Jordan McCloud to freshman wide receiver Omarion Dollison gave USF its second score of the game.

Third Quarter (3:37): Houston 42, USF 7

USF finally gets the goose egg off the board. The Bulls were quickly able to get back into a goal-to-go situation after turning it over on the last possession, and this time were able to convert it into points.

Redshirt freshman running back Leonard Parker scored on a two-yard rush.

Third Quarter (6:07): Houston 42, USF 0

It looked like the Bulls were on the verge of scoring their first points of the game when quarterback Jordan McCloud got hit hard as he looked towards the end zone, which caused the ball to fly into the hands of UH senior Derek Parish.

Parish then took it the distance and returned the fumble 85 yards for the touchdown.

Third Quarter (13:51): Houston 35, USF 0

The Cougars continue to pour it on the Bulls. After forcing USF to punt again, UH junior cornerback and special teams player Marcus Jones returned it 72 yards for the touchdown.

First Quarter (2:05): Houston 14, USF 0

First Quarter (14:04): Houston 7, USF 0
