Senior Bowl 2012, Score And Recap: North Beats South; Kirk Cousins Leads The Way
Isaiah Pead of Cincinnati received MVP honors. The Big East Offensive Player of the Year had 31 yards on the ground, and also 98 yards worth of punt returns. Pead's 60-yard punt return was a highlight of the first half, as the undersized but speedy running back consistently set the North team up with excellent field position.
On the South side, wideout Joe Adams from Arkansas had an impressive day, catching six balls for 116 yards. Adams is a middling prospect, but he lit up the North's defensive backfield throughout the day. On the defensive side of the ball, Quinton Coples, a projected top ten pick, dominated up front. The former Tar Heel had a huge week at practice, and carried that over to Saturday's game.
