(AP) Mel Mitchell III made the NFL scouts take notice. Mitchell intercepted two passes and forced a fumble to set up a touchdown as Team Florida beat Team USA 42-13 on Saturday.

It was Team Florida's third win in four tries against some of the nation's top talent. "All I wanted to do was come out here and show the scouts, coaches and general managers that Mel Mitchell deserved this opportunity," said Mitchell, the first defensive player to earn the Gridiron Classic's overall MVP honor. "I belong in this game and I think my stock went up today." Mitchell, a safety from Western Kentucky, set a record for interceptions in a Gridiron Classic. Team Florida's offensive MVP was an outsider: Maine tight end Chad Hayes, who caught three touchdown passes. He was a lastminute addition to Florida's roster, then set a Gridiron Classic record for touchdown receptions.

"My coaches and agent were lobbying for me to play here," said Hayes, one of nine Team Florida Associated Press THIRD SCORE: Team Florida's Chad Hayes (80) falls over the goal line for his third touchdown of the day Saturday in the Gridiron Classic. players with no college or high yarder to Florida State fullback school ties to thestate.

Randle El named Senior Bowl MVP Hoosier product: Playing wide receiver, Randle El scores a pair of touchdowns MOBILE, Ala. (AP) Rohan Davey of LSU and Patrick Ramsey of Tulane outshined the Senior Bowl's more high profile passers to lead the South to a 41-26 victory over the North on Saturday.

Davey threw a pair of touchdown passes and Ramsey led three second-half scoring drives for the South's fourth win in five years. The South didn't need a big day from Fresno State's David Carr, widely considered the best quarterback prospect in the upcoming NFL draft. Carr was 2-of-6 for 28 yards and sat out the second half. The game is a showcasefor topse- nior NFL prospects. Among those taking advantage was former Indiana quarterback Antwaan Randle El, who made a seamless transition to receiver and return man.

Randle El, voted the game's Most Valuable Player, caught a pair of 3-yard touchdown passes from Kurt Kittner of Illinois and had a 40-yard punt return. The North hurt itself with five turnovers, leading to 24 points. Game officials let the clock run much of the fourth quarter, including after incomplete passes and touchdowns, all but eliminating any chance for a North comeback. The South's defensive MVP was Andra Davis of Florida, who intercepted Kittner's pass on the first play. That set up a 51-yard field goal by college teammate Jeff Chandler.

Ramsey was the team's offensive MVP. Brigham Young's Ryan Denney and Michigan receiver Marquise Walker were the North's MVPs. Denney sacked Carr on consecutive plays. The South turned four first-half turnovers into 17 points and a 24- 13 halftime lead. Randle El and Davey starred in the first half.

Davey, MVP of the Sugar Bowl, was only 3-of-6 1 but threw a pair of touchdown passes. Davey split two defenders for a 32-yard scoring toss to Kelly Campbell of Georgia Tech on his first play. The score was set up by Joseph Jefferson's interception and long return from the goal line. Randle El had three catches for 42 yards in the half.
