Quick Recap & Haiku; USF 42, UConn 27

Still a bit sloppy
This team indeed has some flaws
But they’re Just. So. Good.

We should start to expect it: a bit too close at time, fans saying dumb things on Twitter because you should be perfect all the time as a football team... and then the Bulls pull away for another comfortable conference win.

It wasn’t 60 minutes of pretty, but it was another two-score-or-better win, and the Bulls are 3-0 in conference play for the first time since... the Big Bang? Civilization? Take your pick here, it’s never happened before.

Quick Notes: Full game story coming soon.

• Four turnovers given is a season high for the Bulls.
