AFC STARS BEAT NFC, WEATHER IN SENIOR BOWL

Tyrone Williams, the first Canadian college player invited to the Senior Bowl, scored on a 36-yard pass from Virginia Tech quarterback Will Furrer as the AFC sloshed its way to a 13-10 victory Saturday over the NFC.

Mississippi Valley's Ashley Ambrose scored the AFC's other touchdown on a 44-yard interception return.

A steady rain transformed the field into a small lake, and temperatures in the 30s with winds gusting to 30 mph made conditions even worse.

Most of the announced crowd of 37,100 headed for the exits after the halftime show, and game officials ran the clock during timeouts in the fourth quarter to speed things up.

The AFC had only 22 yards and one first down in the first half, but it finally broke through after a key special teams play in the third quarter. Minnesota's Shawn Lumpkin deflected a punt by Arden Czyzewski of Florida and the ball rolled dead at the NFC 36.

On the next play, Furrer threw a pass down the right sideline to Williams, who beat Auburn's Corey Barlow and pulled it down in the end zone.

Later in the quarter, Ambrose sealed the AFC's victory with his interception return on a pass by Penn State's Tony Sacca. \
