TAMPA, Fla. -- Lee Roy Selmon Jr. intercepted a pass in the second overtime to clinch South Florida's 24-17 victory over Cincinnati on Friday night.

Selmon, the son of former NFL great and current South Florida athletic director Lee Roy Selmon, intercepted a pass by Gino Guidugli on the next possession to end the game.
Cincinnati (4-4, 2-3) scored on the first play of the first overtime, a 25-yard pass from Guidugli to Dennis Hart.
The Bulls tied it on a 5-yard run by quarterback Brian Fisher.
South Florida's Santiago Gramatica tied the game 10-10 with a 30-yard field goal with 3:33 remaining.
