EL PASO, Texas - Englishman Rhys Lloyd kicked a 42-yard field goal with 23 seconds left to give No. 24 Minnesota a 31-30 victory over Oregon in the Sun Bowl on Wednesday.

The Ducks (8-5) had one last chance to score but Kellen Clemens' pass was intercepted by Justin Isom with 10 seconds left.

Laurence Maroney carried 15 times for 135 yards and a touchdown to lead Minnesota, which was beaten by Oregon in the 1999 Sun Bowl. Thomas Tapeh added three touchdowns rushing for the Golden Gophers. Minnesota outrushed the Ducks 241-77.

Liberty Bowl

No. 25 Utah 17,

Southern Mississippi 0

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Morgan Scalley returned a fumble for a touchdown and set up the game's other TD by causing a turnover, leading No. 25 Utah.

Scalley sealed the win by scooping up a fumble after a completed pass and racing 74 yards for a score behind a convoy of Utes with 1:36 left to play.

The Mountain West Conference champions finished the season with back-to-back shutouts and tied a school record with 10 victories.

Southern Miss (9-4) managed to get deep into Utah territory just once in the second half when Anthony Harris broke free for a 41-yard run to the 18 with about eight minutes left and Utah up 7-0. But the Utes (10-2) stiffened, and on fourth-and-2 from the 10 Dave Revill and Ray Holdcraft combined to sack Micky D'Angelo.
