What happened

ESPN RECAP

Flowers, No. 18 USF remain perfect, rout ECU 61-31

GREENVILLE, N.C. -- No. 18 South Florida's typically stout defense sprung more than a few leaks against East Carolina. So the Bulls reverted to what worked pretty well under Willie Taggart last year -- they outscored the Pirates. Quinton Flowers threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and USF extended its school-record winning streak to 10 by routing East Carolina 61-31 on Saturday. "We just kept telling each other we have to score," Flowers said. "Just continue scoring, stay within the offense, and we'll continue scoring. And that's what we did -- we just kept scoring every chance we got, every possession, and we put up a lot of points." This was the Bulls' highest-scoring game since they hung 65 on Cincinnati two years ago, and it was anything but a one-man show.
