QBS BLUNDIN, HAKEL PART OF LOW-SCORING EAST-WEST GAME
California's Mike Pawlawski ran for a touchdown and Bucky Richardson of Texas A&M threw a touchdown pass to Kansas State's Michael Smith to lead the West to a 14-6 victory in the East-West Shrine Game on Sunday.Matt Blundin of Virginia completed nine of 19 passes for 91 yards but threw two interceptions for the East. Chris Hakel of William and Mary was 8-of-15 passing for 65 yards with one interception.
The 20 points scored by the teams in the 67th renewal of the all-star football game for college seniors at Stanford Stadium was the lowest combined points total since the East won 9-3 on Dec. 30, 1972.
Pawlawski, selected the offensive player of the game, gave the West a 7-0 lead with a 1-yard touchdown run that finished off a game-opening 15-play, 77-yard drive with 5:38 left in the first quarter.
Pawlawski, the most valuable player in Cal's 37-13 victory over Clemson in the Citrus Bowl, faked a handoff into the line, spun and rolled left, deked New Hampshire linebacker Dwayne Sabb into the air with a pump fake, then beat two defenders into the left corner of the end zone.
Luke Fisher of East Carolina had four catches for 50 yards for the East.
The West took a 14-0 lead when Richardson hit Smith, Kansas State's all-time leader in receptions, yardage and touchdown receptions, on a post pattern down the right side for a 24-yard touchdown pass with 9:54 left in the half.
Klaus Wilmsmeyer, who made 22 of 30 field-goal attempts in four years at Louisville, pulled the East to 14-3 with a 31-yard field goal with 1:13 left in the half. Wilmsmeyer's 22-yard field goal with 2:44 left in the third quarter pulled the East to 14-6.
Washington's Dana Hall intercepted a pass for the West and was voted the top defensive player.
