SCOREBOARD
LOCAL SLATE
SATURDAY, DEC. 28
SAN DIEGO — Ihmir

6-yard run, a 98-yard kick-
off return and a 12-yard
reception — all in the sec-

Iowa’s 49-24 victory over
No. 22 Southern California
in the Holiday Bowl on Fri-

Senior

USC freshman quarter-

threw two touchdown
passes, was knocked out of

fell apart after Slovis left.
Smith-Marsette helped
the Hawkeyes to a 28-17
halftime lead.
Smith-Marsette scored
on a 6-yard sweep for

tied it on Slovis’ 16-yard
pass to Vavae Malepeai,
Smith-Marsette returned
the kickoff 98 yards to give
the Hawkeyes the lead for
good.
Smith-Marsette, a junior
wide receiver, also had a
95-yard kickoff return for a
score in the regular-season

everyone else. Tre Sterling
had a shot to tackle him
around the 25, but Mond
ran away from his diving
attempt.
The Cowboys (8-5) went
for it on fourth-and-1 from
the Texas A&M 34 on their
next possession, but Spen-
cer Sanders was stopped
for no gain.
The Aggies added a
24-yard fi eld goal to make it
24-14 with about three min-
utes to go.
Oklahoma State cut the
lead to three on a touch-
down reception by Bray-
don Johnson with about a
minute left. The Cowboys
attempted an onside kick,
but A&M recovered it to
secure the victory.
Chuba Hubbard, who
fi nished the regular sea-
son as the nation’s leading
rusher, ran for 158 yards,
and Johnson had 124 yards
receiving and two touch-
downs for the Cowboys.
Hubbard fi nished the
season with 2,094 yards
rushing to become the sec-
ond player in school his-
tory to reach 2,000, join-
ing Barry Sanders, who did
it in 1988 when he won the
Heisman Trophy.
Pinstripe Bowl
NEW YORK — Brian
Lewerke threw for 320
yards and a touchdown and
ran for a score in Michi-
gan State’s 27-21 victory
over Wake Forest in the
Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee
Stadium.
Lewerke threw a 10-yard
pass to wide receiver Cody
White in the third quarter
to put the Spartans (7-6)
ahead 27-21 and they sur-
vived down the stretch to
give embattled coach Mark
Dantonio his sixth bowl
victory.
Wake
Forest
(8-5)
missed a chance to win
nine games for just the third
time in program history.
Michigan State tried to
give away the game twice
in the fourth, the fi rst time
on Lewerke’s shovel pass
to tight end Trenton Gilli-
son inside the 10 that was
stripped and recovered by
linebacker Ja’Cquez Wil-
liams at the 6.
The Deamon Deacons
failed to score on the drive,
and handed Michigan State
another chance to seal the
victory. Again, the Spar-
tans couldn’t put it away
when Matt Coghlin was
wide left on a 28-yard fi eld
goal attempt with 3:03 left
Wake Forest’s last chance
ended on an incomplete
pass on its own 16.
Lewerke passed Con-
nor Cook (9,403) to become
Michigan State’s career
leader in total offense and
was the bowl MVP. White
fi nished with 97 yards
receiving, and Elijah Col-
lins had 96 yards rushing.
Jamie Newman did all
his damage for the Demon
Deacons in the fi rst half,
throwing three touchdown
passes for a 21-20 halftime
lead.
Military Bowl
ANNAPOLIS,
Md.
— Freshman Sam How-
ell threw for 294 yards
and three touchdowns and
caught a scoring pass in
North Carolina’s 55-13 vic-
tory over Temple in the Mil-
itary Bowl.
Howell completed 25
of 34 passes and ran for 53
yards on three carries to help
the Tar Heels (7-6) to their
fi rst bowl victory since 2013.
Temple (8-5) has gone to a
bowl fi ve years in a row —
and lost four of them.
Howell threw two fi rst-
half touchdown to stake the
Tar Heels to a 20-6 lead.
They pulled in the third
quarter, scoring two touch-
downs in a 12-second span,
the last on Storm Duck’s
20-yard interception return.
Howell completed the
third-quarter blitz by catch-
ing a 2-yard TD pass from
wide receiver Rontavius
Groves at the end of a raz-
zle-dazzle reverse to make
it 41-6. Howell threw 38
touchdown passes this sea-
son, the most by a true fresh-
man in FBS history.
