South Florida rings in Christmas with 5OT win in Hawaii Bowl

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
As South Florida won the Hawaii Bowl by a hair.

As much of the nation’s children were sleeping with dreams of Santa, the Bulls were winning one of the wildest games of bowl season, a five-overtime, 41-39 thriller over San José State in the Hawaii Bowl.
