NO CLAWS

USF tops 60 for second straight week in rout of FIU

Saturday September 1, 2029 | 7:00 PM | Pitbull Stadium | Miami, Florida

Miami, Florida - For the second straight week, South Florida’s offense showed no signs of slowing down.

Behind another efficient performance from quarterback Locklan Hewlett and a dominant rushing effort from Connor Suggs, No. 17 USF rolled past FIU 63–16 Saturday night at Pitbull Stadium, eclipsing the 60-point mark for the second consecutive game.

The Bulls finished with 720 total yards and 32 first downs while averaging 7.7 yards per play in a performance that overwhelmed the Panthers in every phase.

FIU struck first with a 46-yard field goal from Manny Blacknall midway through the opening quarter, but the early lead didn’t last long. Connor Suggs powered in from one yard out to put USF ahead, beginning a night where the Bulls’ ground game consistently wore down the Panthers’ defense.

Suggs delivered the game’s biggest early momentum swing in the second quarter, bursting through the line and racing 81 yards down the sideline for a touchdown. The explosive run pushed the Bulls firmly in control and highlighted a massive night for the junior back, who finished with 149 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries.

“Connor was outstanding tonight,” head coach DJ Porter said afterward. “When he gets into space like that, he can change a game in a hurry.”

While the running game punished FIU between the tackles, Hewlett continued his strong start to the season through the air. The Bulls’ quarterback completed 26 of 37 passes for 351 yards and four touchdowns without an interception, repeatedly finding mismatches downfield against the Panthers’ secondary.

Gerald Camarda proved to be Hewlett’s most dangerous target. The receiver hauled in three touchdown passes, including a 44-yard strike in the second quarter and another long score early in the fourth that effectively put the game out of reach.

Lamar Sweet also turned in a big performance, catching 10 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown, including a 48-yard scoring grab early in the third quarter that extended USF’s lead.

By the fourth quarter, the Bulls were firmly in command. George Shembo added a short touchdown run, Steven Snead caught a 14-yard scoring pass from Hewlett, and backup quarterback Joshua Brantley capped the night by tossing a four-yard touchdown to Camarda late in the game.

USF’s defense matched the offense’s intensity, forcing three interceptions and holding the Panthers to just 253 yards of offense. Tracy Bennett and Matt Ansah each picked off passes, while Nick Jones added a third interception as FIU struggled to generate consistent drives.

Linebacker Armon Chambers led the Bulls with eight tackles and a sack, while Ralph Livings added another sack and two tackles for loss as USF’s front disrupted the Panthers’ offense throughout the night.

FIU’s offense managed only one touchdown, a short pass from Ronald Carney to Angel Petty late in the third quarter. Carney threw for 167 yards but was intercepted twice, while backup quarterback Jason Wright added another interception in limited action.

The Panthers’ brightest spot came from kicker Manny Blacknall, who accounted for FIU’s first nine points by converting three field goals.

For South Florida, however, the night was another statement performance.

After putting up 60+ points in back-to-back games to open the season, the Bulls appear to have one of the most explosive offenses in the country as they continue building momentum early in the 2029 campaign.
