...Go Bulls- 2nd year in a row we punked a top 10 school.... Watch out Gators and Noles fans, there is a new sheriff in town!

USF Upsets No. 7 West Virginia; 24-19 On The Road In Regular Season

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Scratch unstoppable from the ways to describe Steve Slaton, Pat White and West Virginia's running game. South Florida saw to that on Saturday.

The Bulls' defense scored on a fumble return and held the nation's second-best rushing and scoring offense to less than half of its averages in a 24-19 win over the No. 7 Mountaineers on Saturday.

Matt Grothe ran for a touchdown and passed for another as South Florida (8-4, 4-3 Big East) handed West Virginia (9-2, 4-2) its first home loss in nine games -- a loss that could end the Mountaineers' chances for a Bowl Championship Series bid.

South Florida coach Jim Leavitt described it as a milestone in the school's 11-year football history, surpassing a win over Louisville last year.

"This probably was the biggest because we won here and it's so hard to win here," Leavitt said. "It's hard to beat these guys anywhere."
