Kragthorpe: Pac-12 alumni play big roles in the Eagles' Super Bowl victory

Conroy Black, a former University of Utah defensive back, will always be able to say he made a game-changing interception of a pass thrown by a Super Bowl MVP.

On a night when BYU alumnus Kyle Van Noy and Utah’s Eric Rowe started for the New England defense, the biggest story became the performances of Pac-12 alumni for Philadelphia’s offense Sunday.

Quarterback Nick Foles, whose Arizona team lost to Black’s Utah team in 2011, passed for 373 yards and three touchdowns in an MVP showing as Philadelphia beat New England 41-33. Tight end Zach Ertz of Stanford, receiver Nelson Agholor of USC and running back LeGarrette Blount of Oregon had a lot to do with the Eagles’ victory in Minneapolis.
