WAILUKU, Hawai'i (AP) - Ricky Williams ran for 114 yards and two touchdowns yesterday, highlighting the South's 34-14 victory over the North in the 53rd annual Hula Bowl.
Williams, the Heisman Trophy winner from Texas, carried 22 times and was named MVP for the South team.
He scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter, and put the South ahead for good with an 11-yard run early in the fourth quarter.
The North took a 14-13 lead when Cal-Davis quarterback Kevin Daft hit Kent State receiver Eugene Jones with an 8-yard touchdown pass with 39 seconds left in the third quarter. Baker also caught a 28-yard pass on the drive.
From then on it was all South, as Kansas State quarterback Michael Bishop marched his team down the field on a 74-yard drive, capped by Williams' second TD run.
He dashed off left tackle and stretched the ball over the goal line with 11:05 left.
Bishop and East Carolina's Troy Smith put the game away for the South, hooking up on two pass plays for 74 yards.
A 45-yard completion brought the ball to the North 19, and the two combined on the next play for touchdown that gave the South a 27-14 lead.
Bishop closed out the game's scoring with a 54-yard TD pass to Texas receiver Wane McGarity.
Bishop, the Heisman runner-up to Williams, finished 10-for-17 for 197 yards and two TD passes.
