Stephen Morris Called South Florida Defense "Dirty" For Going After His Ankle
By Ty Duffy
Miami QB Stephen Morris called South Florida’s defense “a dirty team, to say the least” following the Hurricanes’ 49-21 road win over the Bulls. He claimed USF defensive linemen were intentionally going after his ankle.
"“I don’t know man. When your down under [the pile] and everybody is on top they’re going to try and go for your ankles and everything. We were already up three, four touchdowns so I was like there ain’t no point for me to try to mess with these guys. They’re dirty. It is what is. I wanted to score 70 points on them. They disrespected us. I had no respect for them at all. At that point I felt like we should just keep pushing it, keep killing them.”"
Morris was 11/16 for 222 yards and two touchdowns, before being removed from the game. South Florida falls to 0-4, with double-digit losses to McNeese State and Florida Atlantic. Not sure anyone is left on the bus, besides Willie Taggart.
