South Florida stuns No. 13 Florida on last-second field goal

South Florida stunned No. 13 Florida with an 18-16 upset at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, sealed by Nico Gramatica's 20-yard field goal as time expired. The Bulls, underdog by 18.5 points, capitalized on Florida's costly penalties and a disastrous final three minutes to complete their second consecutive upset over a Top 25 opponent after defeating Boise State the previous week. Quarterback Byrum Brown threw for 263 yards and a crucial 66-yard touchdown pass to Keshawn Singleton, leading the Bulls' offense, while Florida's DJ Lagway managed a touchdown pass but struggled down the stretch. South Florida's defense played a key role, forcing turnovers and maintaining pressure, with linebacker Mac Harris leading the tackles. This victory marks USF's first road win over an SEC opponent since 2007 and positions them as a strong contender for a College Football Playoff spot via the Group of Six automatic bid. For Florida, the loss is a severe setback with tough games ahead, raising questions about head coach Billy Napier's job security.
