The Inaugural FCS Senior Scout Bowl was won with a late Drive by
the South squad, capped by a six yard scoring pass with one minute
remaining in the game.
The North had taken a 12-7 advantage with 5:17 remaining in the
fourth quarter when Izzo hit a 36-yard field goal. Izzo accounted
for all of the North scoring and was 4-for-4 on the day, hitting
from 30, 36, 25 and 36.
Senior teammate Mike
Allison, also an All-Conference selection this season for the
Blue Devils, also participated for the North squad.
Allison lived up to his billing as a preseason All-Northeast
Conference selection in 2010. The 6-foot-6, 300-pound Allison
served as a team captain and was the leader of a line that paved
the way for the NEC's top-ranked rushing attack (212.5 ypg).
Allison was also named to the NEC First Team last week.
Izzo matched a single-season program record by nailing 13 field
goals and earns first team honors at placekicker as a result.
Izzo's 86.7 percent conversion rate (13-of-15) was tops amongst NEC
field goal kickers. The Connecticut native accounted for 74 points
this season, including a game-winning three-pointer in overtime at
Albany. He was also a First Team All-NEC pick in 2010.
The Blue Devils finished the 2010 season 8-3 overall and 7-1 in NEC
action, good for a share of their second straight NEC title and
their fourth overall since 2004.
