USF quarterback B.J. Daniels threw for three touchdowns and walk-on kicker Eric Schwartz went 3-for-3 on field goals, guiding the Bulls to a 30-19 win over No. 20 West Virginia.

The Bulls (6-2, 2-2) bounced back nicely after back-to-back losses to Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, beating a ranked opponent for the second time this season. A Raymond James Stadium crowd announced as 56,328 cheered as the Bulls kept alive their streak of not losing consecutive home games since joining the Big East in 2005.

The Bulls led 20-12 at halftime, but the Mountaineers pulled within one point on an 11-yard run by quarterback Jarrett Brown with 9:18 left in the third. Daniels answered by finishing a 69-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown pass to freshman Sterling Griffin.

Daniels got USF going early, hitting Carlton Mitchell for a 49-yard touchdown on its first drive, and a 69-yard pass play from Daniels to Mitchell set up an 11-yard touchdown to receiver A.J. Love. The Bulls bounced back well from a 7-0 early deficit.

After converting a fourth-and-1 at midfield on the first drive, USF's offense saw Daniels hit receiver Carlton Mitchell for a 49-yard touchdown to tie West Virginia 7-7. After a defensive stop, the Bulls marched down to the West Virginia 12 before settling for a 30-yard Eric Schwartz field goal.

West Virginia quarterback Jarrett Brown had hit a 32-yard pass on the first play and capped the drive with a 3-yard run to the pylon. The Mountaineers added two points on the final play of the opening quarter when USF opened a drive at the 2 and Jamar Taylor was tackled in the end zone for a safety. Tyler Bitancurt hit a 33-yard field goal late in the half to cut the lead to 17-12.
