The North Lost the Senior Bowl Because They Only Asked Riley Dixon to Punt

Related Topics: Senior Bowl, James R. Dixon

The Senior Bowl was held yesterday in Mobile, Ala. and as you were already well aware, former Syracuse Orange punter Riley Dixon was a member of the North team. After his Heisman campaign fell just short during the regular season, he spent last week's practices winning over pro scouts who swooned over his various feats of strength.

Unfortunately, that didn't equate to a win for the North, as they lost to the South team, 27-16. Dixon played well, with four punts going an average of 40.5 yards, including a long of 48.
