Kelly Makes Eagles Golden
LeRoy Handy outruns TCU's Charlie Owens for one of his two TDs.
LaDainian Tomlinson was the best reason to watch the Mobile Alabama Bowl, but Jeff Kelly made it a good show. The Southern Miss quarterback passed for three touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter to rally the Golden Eagles to a 28-21 victory over No. 16 TCU. Tomlinson scored two TDs for the Horned Frogs, but was held to a season-low 118 yards rushing.

 "That was just incredibly strange that both teams in a game would perform that poorly on special teams. Congratulations to Southern Miss for the gutsy win, though. "
