C.J. Hicks has 96-yard fumble return to spark South Florida past Kent State 29-2

On Saturday night, South Florida defeated Kent State 29-2, with the Bulls securing the victory behind a strong defensive performance and efficient second-half scoring.
Defensive standout C.J. Hicks sparked the domination by scooping up a fumble from Kent State quarterback Dru DeShields and returning it 96 yards, tying a school record.
Quarterback Michael Van Buren threw a touchdown pass while backup Luke Kromenhoek scored on a 1-yard plunge and Cameron Seldon caught a 36-yard touchdown reception.
Despite an 11-minute time of possession advantage, the Golden Flashes managed only 31 yards of offense in the second half as South Florida took control.
The Bulls will host UAB next Saturday, while Kent State returns home to face Akron in their respective upcoming matchups.
