TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — B.J. Daniels threw for 202 yards and ran for 130 more, leading No. 18 South Florida to a 52-24 victory over UTEP on Saturday night.
Daniels scored on a 71-yard run on the Bulls’ second offensive play and threw touchdown passes of 54 and 18 yards to Lindsey Lamar in the second half. The junior’s long TD burst was the fourth-longest in USF’s relatively brief football history, and receiver Victor Marc’s 67-yard scoring run later in the opening quarter was the fifth-longest.
There was no immediate word on the nature or severity of a injury to Bulls punt returner Terrence Mitchell, who was carted off the field in the fourth quarter after making a tackle on UTEP punter Ian Campbell at the end of a 19-yard run on a fake punt play. Mitchell launched himself with head lowered and appeared to hit Campbell with his shoulder.
