Shreveport, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - James Franklin ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, leading Missouri to a 41-24 win over North Carolina in Monday's Independence Bowl. Franklin finished with 142 yards on the ground and 132 through the air for the Tigers (8-5), who used 31 straight first-half points to grab a decisive advantage. They recorded four straight wins to close the season, their last in the Big 12 before a move to the SEC.
North Carolina scored on its opening drive, capitalizing on Sean Tapley's kickoff return to midfield with Renner's 22-yard touchdown pass to Dwight Jones.
T.J. Moe brought the ensuing kick out to his own 42, then tossed a touchdown pass to Wes Kemp six plays later. The 40-yard strike came on a halfback pass and initiated the game-deciding run.
Giovani Bernard's fumble at the UNC 40 was converted into Franklin's eight- yard TD strike to Jerell Jackson and an interception by Zaviar Gooden resulted in Kendial Lawrence's nine-yard scoring run.
Barrow tacked on a 26-yarder in the fourth before Renner hit Erik Highsmith for a 17-yard touchdown with 4:08 remaining, capping the scoring.
Game Notes
Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Louisville Cardinals and NC State Wolfpack will collide at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte in the 2011 Belk Bowl. This postseason game was formerly called Continental Tire Bowl (2002-04) and Meineke Car Care Bowl (2005-10). Charlie Strong is in his second season at the helm at Louisville and has his team playing in the postseason for the second straight time, just the third coach in school history to achieve that. The Cardinals began the 2011 season slow with four losses in the first six games, but turned things around over the second half of the season, five wins over the last six outings, including topping Connecticut and USF to close out play and earn a share of the Big East title.
The Wolfpack are making their 26th bowl appearance. The team is 13-11-1 all- time in the postseason. The team has won four of its last five bowl games, including a 23-7 decision over West Virginia in last year's Champs Sports Bowl.
