The latter score would finally put a halt to a run of 30 unanswered points by the Saints. That span of not allowing a first down covered nearly 30 minutes starting at the nine-minute mark of the second quarter. Hudak allowed just two returns off his six kickoffs, while Neumann put three punts into the end zone and another three inside the Puma 15-yard line. The Saints also limited the hosts to just one conversion in 15 third-down plays. And, it was probably one of our best special teams' efforts.
Defense has to be a big part of every game because sometimes the offense stagnates.
That's why defense and special teams have to be a big constant. USF's offense did anything but stagnate on Saturday finishing with 298 yards of total offense. We grew up as college athletes today and now we will have to see if we can sustain what we accomplished.
