FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - South Florida's Andre Hall scored four touchdowns and TCU botched an extra point in the second overtime, giving USF a 45-44 victory Saturday night.
TCU quarterback Brandon Hassell scored on a 16-yard run in the second overtime, but TCU kicker Peter LoCoco never got the chance to tie the score as the snap got away from holder Reeves Dalton.
The Bulls (2-1, 1-0 Conference USA) snapped TCU's regular-season home winning streak at 15 games. TCU (2-2, 0-1) beat South Florida last year at Tampa to stop USFs 21-game home winning streak.
Hall rushed for 119 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries. His 1-yarder tied the first overtime at 38, then his 13-yarder gave USF a 45-38 lead. Hall also had 65 yards receiving and a TD catch.
Pat Julmiste, who left in the second quarter with what appeared to be a possible knee injury, returned to complete 22 of 33 attempts for 324 yards for USF. His only touchdown pass was a 17-yarder to Hall in the fourth that tied the game at 24.
TCU's Lonta Hobbs also scored four touchdowns, two rushing and two receiving. His 8-yard TD run forced the second overtime.
Hobbs now has 29 rushing touchdowns in his career, moving him past Jim Swink and into third on the TCU all-time list behind only LaDainian Tomlinson (54) and Tony Jeffery (31). His 32 total touchdowns tie him with Swink for third in school history, behind the same two players.
South Florida's Clenton Crossley forced the first overtime with a 3-yard touchdown run with 1:26 left in regulation.
