The ST.Petersburgh Bowl

Before this game started I gave Memphis a good chance to win this game, but after I kept thinking about south Florida and they're recent past. Although they were not ranked high or even considered for a better bowl, it still had me wondering if they could play like USF of old. For Memphis I was very optimistic, with wonders of how the recruits have coped with head coach Tommy West. After the first two games this one seemed poised to have an upset. Yet that never happened.
On the way to the Bulls' 41-14 quarterback Matt Grothe thew for 236 yards, 3 TD and ran for another 83. although he was sacked 3 times, Grothe never got down on himself by not throwing an int. 3 Bulls had a receiving touchdown and 2 others had a rushing touchdown. QB Arkelon Hall showed why he was a first year starter, completing less than 50 percent of his passes on 154 yards. Hall was not sacked, did not throw and int and threw a TD as long as rushing for one as well. the bulls had 258 yards more than the tigers. USF had 2 times as many rushing yards (66-232) and 92 yards more than Memphis. Grothe's 32 yard run was the longest of the night and his 83 rushing yards lead not only his team but the game.
* The positives for South Florida: QB Matt Grothe looks like he will come back for another season and he is set to have another great season. this game will definitely put the bulls back on the recruiting map and even with George Selvie more than likely leaving for the NFL, the bulls look like they can bounce back after losing they're top defensive player.
*The positives for Memphis: the good news, this game put the tigers on a national TV and following the first two games it looked to be a classic. The bad news, they got blown out by USF and QB Arkelon Hall played sub par at best. None the less, coach Tommy West has lead the tigers to play they're first postseason game against a BCS conference team.
