The Game That Rutgers Upset #2 South Florida (2007)

On October 18, 2007, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights upset the second ranked South Florida Bulls by a final score of 30-27. The USF Bulls were 6-0 going into the game, and had their sights on making a run to the BCS National Championship Game, but a combination of poor special teams, lackluster offensive line play, and a riled up Rutgers crowd ruined their chances. Rutgers was led by RB Ray Rice (181 Yards) and their special teams unit, which had a blocked field goal, successful fake punt, and successful fake field goal that resulted in a touchdown. This game was one of many upsets from the 2007 College Football season, but this game in particular might be the weirdest of all the upsets. Not only was the game itself very wacky, but these two teams are hardly ever involved in prime time games. Let me know if you have any ideas for future videos. Enjoy!

Before you guys ask, yes this game is from real life, not NCAA 14. Also, if you enjoy special teams highlights then this game is for you lol.

This game was crazy. Another good one you could do was when Oregon state upset #1 USC in 2008

Kansas almost made it to the national championship game

[@bwburke94]

The craziest part wasn't Rutgers beating #2; it was South Florida *being* #2.

[@djgib53]

That Rutgers team had a lot of NFL talent. The McCourty's, Kenny Britt, and Ray Rice to name a few.

This has to be one of my favorite upsets. I really wish south Florida tho would have went to the championship in 2007s wacky year but it’s fun to see rugerts do that.

Thank you for uploading the highlights from this game. In the Year of the Upset, this game really flies under the radar... it was a fun game with a lot of future pros. I always felt bad for USF in this one, I still feel like they got screwed on that penalty for the "illegal fumble" in the 2nd quarter, perhaps changed the outcome of the game.
