Illinois 20 vs UCLA 14

2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Winner - Illini Come From Behind To Take Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Title

The UCLA Bruins and Illinois Fighting Illini met Saturday at the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, both looking to find redemption after tumultuous seasons and both led by interim coaches coaching their final games.  At the end of the day and 17 unanswered points later, the Illini left AT&T Park Saturday on a high note after their 20-14 win over the Bruins.

Offensive player of the game, quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, was a one-person nightmare for UCLA. The sophomore finished the afternoon rushing for a game-high 139 yards and throwing for 110 to account for much of the Illini offense.

The Illini defense, one of the best in the Big Ten, flexed its muscle in the throughout the game.  Despite ending the first half down 7-3, Illinois defenders had held UCLA to 65 yards of total offense.   On the day, the defense never let UCLA reach the red-zone and finished with a season lows in rushing yards (18) and total offense (220).

The biggest contribution by the Illini defense, however, came when linebacker Terry Hawthorne delivered the game-changing moment.  Hawthorne, who took defensive player of the game honors, picked off a Kevin Prince pass and ran it back 39 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.

Illinois later added points from a 38-yard field goal and Scheelhaase’s 60-yard touchdown pass to go up 20-7 and essentially put the game out of reach.

The Bruins made it interesting late in the fourth, after Prince found Nelson Rosario in the corner of the end zone to pull UCLA within 20-14, but the Illini special teams cradled the ensuing on-side kick to secure Illinois’ second-straight bowl win.

2010 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl - Rishard Matthews' 2 TDs help Nevada end four-game bowl losing skid

Nevada rode Colin Kaepernick and a high-powered offense to its most successful season since joining the top division of college football.

With Kaepernick and the Wolf Pack's potent running game bottled up most of the night, it was the defense and special teams that delivered.

Rishard Matthews caught a touchdown pass and returned a punt for another score, and Nevada (No. 15 BCS, No. 13 AP) used its best defensive game of the season to beat Boston College 20-13 in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on Sunday night.
