Big East Run down off ESPN

South Florida

• No matter what happens the rest of the season, the Bulls (7-3, 3-2) have a bright future.

That is because they have a star quarterback in freshman Matt Grothe, who passed for a school-record 364 yards in a 27-10 victory over Syracuse.

USF finishes its season in the toughest possible fashion, with road games at Louisville and West Virginia. Two wins could mean a share of the Big East title. USF appears to be headed for a bowl game no matter what.

"I would imagine, at this point, we'll go to a bowl," coach Jim Leavitt told the Tampa Tribune. "Now, let's go play for a [big East] championship. Stranger things have happened since the beginning of time."

• USF's chance of springing one or two upsets in the final two games, beginning Saturday at Louisville (ESPNU, 7:30 p.m. ET) got a whole lot worse when starting left tackle Thed Watson was dismissed from the team Monday for violating team rules. Watson was a preseason Outland Trophy candidate. Several players were vying for the role. Grothe better wear his scrambling shoes.

• Credit Leavitt for sticking with previously shaky freshman kicker Delbert Alvarado, who rewarded him with a Big East-record 56-yard field goal against Syracuse.

• Another record was shattered Saturday when linebacker Stephen Nicholas broke the school mark for career tackles for loss (48.5).
