The South Florida Bulls dominated the Syracuse Orange with a 45-0 victory in the Boca Raton Bowl. Sean Atkins scored a 35-yard TD catch, and Tramel Logan had a scoop and score. USF's head coach, Alex Golesh, achieved a winning season after a 1-29 record against FBS opponents from 2020-22. Syracuse's poor performance included 4 turnovers, -13 rushing yards, and 0-9 on third down conversions. The defeat marked Syracuse's first-ever shutout in a bowl game and the worst bowl loss in ACC history.

Fiasco in Florida: Syracuse trampled by USF, 45-0, for worst loss of season in Boca Raton Bowl https://t.co/DSaiNDtG1J
USF went 1-29 against FBS opponents from 2020-22. A winning season with a 45-0 shutout of a P5 opponent in a bowl is a very solid first season for HC Alex Golesh.

Syracuse was shutout for the first time ever in a bowl game, a 45-0 loss in the Boca Bowl to USF that is credited as the worst bowl loss in ACC history. Here are some quick takes on the beatdown in Boca. https://t.co/8aD73aaroY

South Florida shuts out Syracuse to get the bowl win 🏆 https://t.co/8ewm1VctQ0
USF smokes Syracuse, 45-0, in the Boca Raton Bowl. Alex Golesh low-key turned in one of the best coaching jobs of the season, winning 7 games with a Bulls program that had won just 8 across the previous four years.
Your @BocaBowl final: #USF 45, Syracuse 0 Not a shabby last 48 hours for the Bulls.

Syracuse started off 4-0, then went 0-5, and won 2 of their last 3 to sneak into a bowl. Perhaps in hindsight they shouldn’t have. 😅
Syracuse football is back, baby. https://t.co/iZDyi1gL3m
End of 3rd: @USFFootball 38, Syracuse 0
The score is selling it short here. Syracuse has 4 turnovers, -13 rushing yards, and is 0-9 on third down https://t.co/pE0NasRmKY
Syracuse’s first drive of 2nd half goes backwards 2 yards and ends in a pick. 🫠 https://t.co/NqPtVTEJCP
And Sean Atkins exploits an utterly busted Orange coverage for a 35-yard TD catch. #USF 38, Syracuse 0
It’s been a crazy game at the @BocaBowl 😦 We’re checking in at the half with @ChrisCarlin 🎙️ USF 31 Syracuse 0 https://t.co/oxvganjgtr
HALFTIME: @USFFootball 31, Syracuse 0
Another scoop and score. This one by Tramel Logan after Daquan Evans annihilates whichever Orange QB was in there. #USF 31, Syracuse 0
Syracuse is having the worst game of all time.
Syracuse is having a real bad time in Boca Raton.
The Boca Bowl might drive me to the NFL game. Had a feeling this was going to be bad for Syracuse, but whoooo boy has it been worse than that.
USF nails a field goal to extend its lead with a few minutes to go until halftime. You'd think the Bulls were one of those gauntlet midseason teams Syracuse faced by the scoreboard right now. SU, 0 USF, 24 2Q | 2:40
USF tacks on a FG to take a 24-0 lead on Syracuse. 2:40 to go until halftime.
