The USF Bulls made waves in a Saturday night thriller against the Florida Gators at the Swamp.

Their matchup against the No. 13 Gators went down to the wire. They trailed 9-6 at halftime but traded leads with their in-state opponents throughout the course of the second half.

Florida led 16-15 in the final minutes, but USF had possession for the last drive of the contest. They made the right plays to get as close to the end zone as possible. Taking a lot of time off the clock until three seconds remained, they relied on Nico Gramatica to seal the deal with a field goal. He was more than willing to oblige, converting it to pull off the upset win on the road.

Many fans came in droves to react to the wild ending, especially those from the winning team's base. Here are some of their reactions.

“Way to represent the American!” one fan said.

“What a great game! My son is a Freshman at USF and at the game. USF should’ve been ranked and now they can’t be ignored. Byrum. Nico. Go Bulls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” another remarked.

“GIVE BYRUM BROWN THE HEISMAN TOMORROW,” one commented.
