SENIOR BOWL : Auburn-to-Alabama Pass Wins for South

For one day, the Auburn-Alabama rivalry was put on hold.

Stan White, the quarterback who directed Auburn to an 11-0 season, teamed with Alabama receiver Kevin Lee for a 50-yard touchdown pass Saturday, giving the South a 35-32 victory over the North in the Senior Bowl.

White’s third touchdown pass of the game came with 2:52 to play after the North had scored 22 consecutive points to take its first lead. North Carolina State’s Dewayne Washington, who had been burned on long passes that set up the North’s last two touchdowns, sealed the victory with his second interception at the South three.

White completed 10 of 18 passes for 174 yards. His final touchdown pass earned him the most-valuable-player award.

Tennessee’s Charlie Garner, who had been one of the most impressive players in practice all week before the eyes of NFL scouts, rushed for 128 yards in 17 carries. He also returned two kickoffs for 48 yards.

The South blocked two field-goal attempts by Kansas’ Dan Eichloff.
