TAMPA, Fla. -- Quinton Flowers threw for 350 yards and four touchdowns to lead South Florida to a 48-17 rout of Northern Illinois on Saturday night.With two-time American Athletic Conference rushing leader Marlon Mack sitting out after spending the past week in the concussion protocol, Flowers accounted for 403 of his teams 658 yards total offense while tossing TD passes of 73 yards to Ryeshene Bronson, 26 yards to Rodney Adams, 13 yards to DErnest Johnson and 6 yards to Chris Barr.The dual-threat quarterback also rushed for 53 yards on 11 carries, helping the Bulls (2-0) -- preseason favorites to win the Americans East Division -- remain unbeaten through two games for the first time in four seasons under coach Willie Taggart.2-0!

The 0-2 start will mean little if NIU can rebound -- especially defensively -- to make another strong run in conference play.South Florida: Taggart has his team playing with confidence and swagger. The Bulls have won nine of 11 games dating to last season, improving to 2-0 for the first time since 2012, when they went on lose nine of 10 and finish 3-9. The last time USF won three straight to begin a season was 2011, when it dropped seven of eight following a 4-0 start to wind up 5-7. Houston may be the team to beat for the American title, however Taggarts bunch looks as strong as any bidding to represent the East in the leagues championship game.NEXT MAN UPMack led the American in rushing the past two seasons. He had a streak of five consecutive 100-yard performances ended when he sat out the entire second half of USFs season opener against Towson, finishing with 58 yards. Darius Tice replaced him in the starting lineup Saturday night and gained 120 yards on 19 attempts. DErnest Johnson shared the workload, finishing with 87 yards on 16 attempts.It was good to get so many guys get involved and contribute, Taggart said.TRACKING THE HUSKIES:A week after scoring three touchdowns and leading NIU with 144 yards receiving and 82 yards rushing, NIUs Kenny Golladay was limited to four receptions for 43 yards and no TDs.

Graham was 9 of 15 for 65 yards, one TD and no interceptions.I dont know the diagnosis on Hare, NIU coach Rod Carey said, Right now, well move forward with Ryan.UP NEXTNorthern Illinois: Huskies get a break from the road, where they played consecutive games to begin a season for the first time since 2013, and return to DeKalb, Illinois for their home opener against San Diego State.Itll be good to be home, Carey said. Weve got to a bunch of things to correct and move forward.South Florida: Begins the tougher portion of its non-conference schedule, traveling to Syracuse next Saturday before returning home to face No. 3 Florida State in two weeks.Now we get to see if we can take this show on the road and do what we do at home, Taggart said.

CHICAGO -- Jason Hammel says potato chips have helped end chronic cramping issues. Now the Chicago Cubs right-hander has enough salty snacks to last the rest of the season.Hammel was greeted at his Wrigley Field locker Wednesday morning by a 6-foot high stack of cardboard boxes filled with chips. They were a gift of Pennsylvania-based Utz.Thats classic, a smiling Hammel said. I should be well hydrated.Hammel left his July 7 start against Atlanta in the sixth inning when his right thumb cramped up on a humid day. Hammel has had cramping issues in the past, and his doctor told him potato chips would help.I looked at him like he had 10 eyes, Hammel said, before it started to make sense.Potatoes are obviously a good source of potassium, Hammel said. Carbs, youre burning off energy there. And salt, obviously. Its not the breakfast or type of meal of champions, but there are quirky things for everybody.The 33-year-old ssaid he munched on sea salt and vinegar chips between innings Saturday in his last start.ddddddddddddHe outdueled Yu Darvish by allowing one run and three hits with seven strikeouts in a 4-1 victory over Texas. And he had no cramps.A new diet was born.What male doesnt look for a chance to eat more potato chips? Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.A sheepish Hammel, who is 8-5 with a 3.34 ERA, leaned on the five boxes of chips at his locker and insisted he wouldnt stray from an offseason conditioning program thats left him leaner and stronger in 2016.The misconception is all I do is eat chips, he said.So dont expect Hammel to morph into the look of hefty Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon, whom the Cubs were to face Wednesday.Hes probably never met a potato chip he didnt like, either, Maddon said.
