The second edition of the Miami Beach Bowl likely won't match the drama of last year's postgame brawl, but it did feature something almost never seen in a football game.

During the second quarter of Monday's matchup between Western Kentucky and South Florida, the Hilltoppers actually were forced to punt on fourth-and-goal.

Western Kentucky moved the ball to the Bulls' 6-yard line for a first-and-goal, but a personal foul penalty followed by two sacks pushed them back to the 38-yard line.

In a small victory, Jake Collins was able to drop the punt on the 3-yard line, pinning South Florida deep.

The Bulls led 14-10 at the half.
