USF's Byrum Brown, Miami's Carson Beck each intercepted, ending long streaks without a pick

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — South Florida quarterback Byrum Brown's record-setting streak without an interception is over. And Miami quarterback Carson Beck's long run without throwing a pick came to an end as well.

Brown threw an interception with 5:36 left in the second quarter of the 18th-ranked Bulls' game at No. 5 Miami on Saturday night — his first after a school-record span of 252 throws without a pick, a run that started in November 2023.

He floated a pass across the middle of the field on third-and-8, one that Miami's Bryce Fitzgerald picked off as he fell to the ground at the USF 25-yard line. Beck scored on a keeper six plays later to give Miami a 28-6 lead.

Beck threw his first interception as a Hurricane later in the first half, one that ended a streak of 201 passes without getting picked off. That run started last year when he was at Georgia.
