After the first quarter on Thursday night in Tampa, the Tigers led South Florida by three touchdowns. There was no doubt the gap was being closed.
By the midway point of the fourth quarter, the Tigers trailed by a field goal. The Tigers were suffering well.
In the end, the Tigers closed that gap, beating the Bulls 52-41 and taking a major step toward appearing in the American Conference championship game for the first time since 2019.
