Andre Hall ran for 156 yards and three touchdowns Saturday night, leading South Florida to a 37-3 rout of Florida A&M.
Hall scored on first-half runs of 2, 2 and 31 yards while tying a school record with the seventh 100-yard rushing performance of his career. He went over the century mark early in the second quarter and played sparingly after that, finishing with 18 carries.
The South Florida defense did its part, too, in helping the Bulls (1-1) rebound from a season-opening 23-13 loss at Penn State.
FAMU (0-2) was limited to 85 yards total offense in its second game under coach Rubin Carter, the former NFL player and assistant who has been on the job less than two months after replacing Billy Joe, who left behind a program reeling from NCAA violations and a budget crisis.
The Rattlers were held without a first down until midway through the third quarter, then benefited from two fourth-down penalties against South Florida to score its only points on Westly Taylor's 21-yard field goal.
Pat Julmiste, starting at quarterback after coming off the bench to throw for 200 yards and two touchdowns against Penn State, completed 6 of 10 passes for 71 yards before giving way to
Courtney Denson in the second quarter.
Denson, a transfer from Auburn who started the season opener for the Bulls, threw a 36-yard TD pass to
Cedric Hill to make it 37-0 in the third quarter and shared playing time in the second half with third-string freshman
Carlton Hill.
