|  | South Wins 2008 Senior Bowl « Thread Started on Jan 27, 2008, 1:05am » | |
In the most thrilling Senior Bowl finish in history and the first to be decided on the game's final play, Florida's Andre Caldwell scored on a two-yard touchdown run as time expired and Georgia kicker Brandon Coutu kicked the extra point to give the South a 17-16 victory. Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge led the South on a 14-play, 86-yard drive in the game's final 2:48 to give the South its first win in four years.
Tulane's Matt Forte was the game's leading rusher with 59 yards and caught four passes for 38 yards, including a key 13-yard reception on the game's winning drive to win the overall Most Valuable Player award.
Other MVP's were Ainge for the South offense and LSU linebacker Ali Highsmith, who had four tackles for the South defense. Michigan's Chad Henne threw two TD passes to win MVP honors for the North offense and USC's Sedrick Ellis had two tackles, a sack and was credited with a North safety to earn the North's defensive MVP honors.
