Meanwhile, the Bulls couldn't get much going on the ground for themselves, rushing for 106 yards and averaging just 3.2 yards per carry a week after rushing for over 300 yards against The Citadel.
After rushing for 787 yards and eight touchdowns while averaging 6.8 yards per carry as a freshman and then switching to slot receiver and taking a redshirt as a sophomore, Johnny Ford is back at running back for USF. Ford has averaged 9.4 yards per carry through the first two weeks of the season and it will be interesting to see if the Bulls can get him more involved after giving him just 17 touches thus far.
