It may also have been the curtain call for star quarterback Byrum Brown<\/a>, who became the 12th quarterback in Division One college football history with over 3000 passing and 1000 rushing yards in one season. \u00a0<\/p>\n The senior has one more year of eligibility, but it is unclear if he will spend it at USF or follow Golesh to Auburn.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Brown finished the night with 379 combined yards and five total touchdowns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019ll definitely be an NFL quarterback when he feels like it\u2019s time\u2026 he possesses the mental and the physical traits that you would need to be an NFL quarterback,\u201d said Golesh during the post-game press conference.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Six of Brown\u2019s 16 completions were caught by wide receiver Keshaun Singleton<\/a> for 125 yards. Singleton has now amassed the third most yards by a USF receiver in a single season (877).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Singleton ended both of USF\u2019s first two drives with touchdowns of 5 and 47 yards respectively.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n USF scored 14 more points in the second quarter. Receiver Mudia Reuben<\/a> caught his second 60-yard touchdown in as many weeks, followed by a 2-yard touchdown run by Nykahi Davenport.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The Owls only points were from a 44-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. From there, USF piled on points until reaching over 50 for the fifth time this season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n USF\u2019s sweetest points scored, however, may have been the last of the season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n With eight minutes remaining in the fourth, former walk-on senior wide receiver Christian Helms<\/a> caught a pass from backup quarterback Gaston Moore<\/a> at the goal line. Helms fought through defenders, reaching the endzone to turn his first career catch into his first touchdown in his final game.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n It was the finale for many seniors, including linebacker Mac Harris<\/a> who finished his final collegiate game at Raymond James with his 100th tackle of the season.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt was more so just about how we play defense that means the most to me,\u201d Harris said. \u201c100 tackles is definitely a cool stat I\u2019ll be able to tell my kids later down the road, but I\u2019m just proud of how we played as a defense.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n USF\u2019s first nine-win season since 2017 was also USF\u2019s first season without a home loss since 2002. The Bulls will have the opportunity to put its win column in double digits once the team\u2019s bowl destination is announced in the coming weeks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
