Senior Bowl
Senior Bowl Saturday afternoon in the Senior Bowl, all eyes may have been in Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow when the game started, but by the time the North handed the South a 31-13 loss, everyone's attention had shifted to Cincinnati's Mardy Gilyard.

The former Bearcats' star turned in an awfully strong audition for a much more lucrative career on Sundays, racking up 103 yards receiving and catching a 32-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to help the North race past the South.

With an outstanding proformance, Gilyard was named as the game's offensive Most Valuable Player.

"All my hard work just kind of came into one game," an exuberant Gilyard said. "I'm truly blessed. I worked my butt off and I played my butt
off. I've been through so much in my career."

Tebow on the other hand, had a shacky outing at best. He fumbled twice and finished 8 of 12 passing for 50 yards as he tried running the South's offense.

"I think I'm definitely open to improving my fundamentals," Tebow said. "I think I definitely showed that by being here. If you just watched the way I played, you could see there is room for improvement and what I need to work on."

Tulane receiver Jeremy Williams had six catches for 82 yards, added a 27-yard run on an end around and was named the South's most outstanding player.

That honor went to Central Michigan's LeFevour for the North. He completed half of his 10 passes for 97 yards and one touchdown pass. He also added a 1-yard touchdown run on a QB sneak.
