Mobile, Ala. ? Philip Rivers might as well have been back in Raleigh, N.C., flinging the ball to his favorite receivers and running the same old offense.

The North Carolina State quarterback was efficient as ever in the South’s 28-10 victory Saturday over the North in the Senior Bowl, passing for 213 yards and directing all his team’s scoring drives.

The nation’s top-rated passer was the only quarterback who looked completely at ease in the game, an NFL audition for college seniors.

“I played in 51 straight games in college. I’m a coach’s son. I’ve been around the game for so long, I feel like I just have kind of a knack for getting people going,” said Rivers, an Alabama native. “I just kind of took pride in doing that.”

Rivers completed 12 of 19 passes, two for first-quarter touchdowns, to earn Most Valuable Player honors. He played one series in the final three quarters, re-entering late in the fourth.

Florida State’s Greg Jones ran for his second touchdown, a 4-yarder, to end that drive. The 250-pound back showed off his bruising style by breaking several tackles on a 22-yarder and displayed agility on the next play, cutting back toward the middle for the touchdown.

“I just wanted to show everybody that even though I’m 250 pounds I can do almost everything,” said Jones, who was the South’s offensive MVP. “I try to do everything and I want to do everything, and I want to be the best.”

He also had a tackle-breaking, 16-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

His FSU teammate, Darnell Dockett, set up a touchdown with a fumble recovery and was the South’s defensive MVP.

Ohio State receiver Michael Jenkins was picked as the North’s offensive MVP after catching seven passes for 69 yards. Ricardo Colclough of Division Two Tusculum College in Tennessee claimed defensive honors.

Neither offense looked particularly fluid when Rivers was on the sideline, though Michigan’s John Navarre had a 35-yard touchdown pass to Keary Colbert of Southern California in the second quarter on fourth-and-10.
