TAMPA Here's a fitting way to become USF's career leader in total offense: Senior quarterback Matt Grothe beat Wofford at its own game, running the option and cutting upfield for a 38-yard gain in the second quarter, and in doing so, passed Marquel Blackwell for the record. Blackwell, on USF's staff as a program coordinator, totaled 10,343 yards in his four years with the Bulls. Grothe entered the game with 10,242 and finished it with 10,428 (19 of 25 passing for 158 yards and eight rushing attempts for 28). Next week he'll have a shot at the Big East record of 10,529, set by West Virginia's Pat White last season. Grothe, who held the Big East mark briefly last season, is on pace to break Blackwell's school passing records as well, with career marks for yards, attempts, completions and touchdowns within his reach. PRECOCIOUS: USF hadn't had a true freshman start in six years, but two started Saturday: receiver Sterling Griffin and cornerback Kayvon Webster. They're the first to start since receiver S.J. Green in 2003. HEAVY ROTATION: USF made it a priority to test its depth, and the Bulls made good on that, rotating in eight defensive linemen on Wofford's opening series. Starters George Selvie, Craig Marshall, Terrell McClain and Cory Grissom came off during the drive, with reserves Aaron Harris, David Bedford, Patrick Hampton and Jason Pierre-Paul checking in. That didn't stop Wofford from driving 69 yards for a touchdown to tie the score at 7. IN MEMORY: USF held a moment of silence before the game for former Bulls tight end Will Bleakley and NFL players Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith, who were lost in the Gulf of Mexico in a boating accident in March. The team also started a tradition of honoring former running back Keeley Dorsey, who died in January 2007, by having Harris wear his No. 10 jersey. A different player will wear No. 10 each game this season, which would have been Dorsey's senior year. THIS AND THAT: Sophomore strong safety Jerrell Young, a Gibbs graduate, broke an arm in the first half and is out a while, coach Jim Leavitt said. He was replaced by senior walk-on Mistral Raymond . Butler made two big plays, tackling the punter to set up a touchdown and recovering a Wofford fumble, forced by Jerome Murphy, that spoiled a 52-yard run by the Terriers. Freshman linebacker Sam Barrington played on the opening kickoff, as did junior Jacquian Williams of Riverview. Neither saw significant action on defense.
