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.
