TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Bryce Archie threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns, Israel Carter also had two passing touchdowns and South Florida routed Tulsa 63-30 on Saturday.

South Florida (6-5, 4-3 American Athletic Conference) is bowl eligible for the second straight season, after missing the postseason in the previous four years.

The strangest play of the game happened with USF leading 49-7. Tulsa quarterback Kirk Francis threw a deep pass to Joseph Williams along the right sideline. He appeared headed for Tulsa's second touchdown, but defensive back Ben Knox hustled to poke the ball away at the goal line and recovered it at the 2-yard line.

Kelley Joiner rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns for South Florida. Archie also had seven carries for 40 yards and another touchdown.

Cooper Legas was intercepted three times for Tulsa (3-8, 1-6). Anthony Watkins, Viron Ellison Jr. and Lloyd Avant each had a rushing touchdown, with Watkins running for a team-high 101 yards.
