FOOTBALL

TEXAS BOWL: Mikel Leshoure ran for 184 yards and three touchdowns as Illinois earned its first bowl victory since 1999, beating Baylor 38-14 in Houston.

The Illini spoiled the Bears’ first bowl appearance in 16 seasons. Both teams finished at 7-6.

Leshoure had a 5-yard TD run in the second quarter, a 13-yard score in the third quarter and another 5-yard touchdown run in the fourth period. The performance gave him the school single-season rushing record with 1,697 yards.

The Illini built a 24-0 lead and Leshoure’s last touchdown put the game out of reach after Baylor cut the lead to 24-14 early in the fourth quarter.

MILITARY BOWL: Maryland Coach Ralph Friedgen ended his 10-year run at his alma mater with a 51-20 victory over East Carolina (6-7) in Washington.

Maryland (9-4) forced four turnovers, and Da’Rel Scott ran for 200 yards.

New AD Kevin Anderson said last week that Friedgen, 63, was being fired, effective after the bowl game, with the school buying out the final year of the coach’s contract for $2 million.

Scott had second-half touchdown runs of 61 and 91 yards on back-to-back Terrapins offensive plays and posted the school’s first 200-yard rushing game since 2003.

D.J. Adams had four short touchdown runs for the Terrapins.
