10/10/25 - Byrum Brown, rJr/2027, South Florida, 6-3, 232 (DS#7 QB) + More +

Byrum Brown threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores, Jhalyn Shuler returned a fumble 34 yards for South Florida's fourth TD in span of 4 1/2 minutes and the No. 24 Bulls beat North Texas 63-36 on Friday night, handing the Mean Green their first loss this season. The Bulls (5-1, 2-0 American) tied it at 21 with 2 seconds left before halftime when Brown threw a 2-yard TD pass to Jonathan Echols to capitalize on a muffed punt. They added three quick scores after halftime. North Texas (5-1, 1-1) hadn't gone this deep into a season without a loss since a 5-0 start in 1959, which was nine years before "Mean" Joe Greene was a unanimous All-American at the school.

South Florida went ahead to stay with some trickery right after halftime, on receiver Christian Neptune's 29-yard TD pass to Keshaun Singleton after first taking a handoff on a sweep. The Bulls' third interception in the game then set up Sam Franklin's 11-yard TD with 12:35 left in the third quarter, a minute before the big return by Shuler for a 42-21 lead. UNT redshirt freshman quarterback Drew Mestemaker, who never started a varsity game in high school, was 30-of-46 passing for 326 yards and two touchdowns, while also running for a score. He had thrown 11 TD passes without an interception in the first five games before the three picks by the Bulls. South Florida outgained UNT 580 total yards to 423. Brown completed 22 of 28 passes for 245 yards, and ran 21 times for 82 yards. - South Florida/AP College Football

Ohio State, Penn State and LSU remained the top three teams in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll Sunday, Oregon is back in the top five and South Florida is ranked for the first time in seven years. There was some movement inside the top 10, but the biggest changes came from Nos. 11 to 25. Ohio State, whose 70-0 win over Grambling was among a bevy of weekend blowouts, received 57 of the 65 first-place votes from the media panel. Penn State got five first-place votes and LSU two. No. 4 Oregon, which thrashed Oklahoma State, received the other first place-vote and flip-flopped with Georgia. The Bulldogs' uninspired win over FCS foe Austin Peay caused them to slip to No. 6 behind Miami.

Texas, Notre Dame, Illinois and Florida State round out the top 10, with the latter two teams in the top 10 for the first time this season. Oklahoma earned a five-rung promotion to No. 13, its highest ranking in two years, after its win over Michigan. The Wolverines dropped to No. 23. Tennessee jumped seven spots to No. 15, and No. 16 Texas A&M and No. 17 each moved up three. The biggest upward mover was No. 18 South Florida, which was eight spots out of the Top 25 last week. The Bulls pulled the upset of the day with their 18-16 win over then-No. 13 Florida. That followed their 34-7 home win over then-No. 25 Boise State. - AP College Football

Nico Gramatica hit a 20-yard field goal as time expired and South Florida stunned No. 13 Florida 18-16 on Saturday to give the Bulls consecutive wins against ranked opponents to start the season. Gramatica missed a 58-yarder with 2:52 remaining but got a chance to redeem himself after Florida defensive lineman Brandon Bett spit at a South Florida player on the Bulls' next possession. Bett was ejected with a little more than two minutes to play, and the Bulls (2-0) got 15 yards and an automatic first down to spark an 87-yard drive.

It was the latest setback for embattled Florida coach Billy Napier, whose team is 1-1 for the fourth consecutive year. The Gators looked as though they would rally after freshman Vernell Brown III returned a punt 40 yards to set up DJ Lagway's lone touchdown pass. But the Gators flopped down the stretch, an all-too-familiar feeling during Napier's tenure. Napier's play-calling was scrutinized as much as Lagway's rehabilitated throwing shoulder, and the Gators found themselves trailing 15-9 in the fourth quarter following a defensive breakdown and a safety caused by a poor snap. - South Florida/AP College Football
