TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - If Shonn Greene has played his last game for
Iowa, he's going out in style.
The Big Ten's most valuable player rushed for 121 yards and
three touchdowns Thursday, helping the Hawkeyes trounce South
Carolina 31-10 in the Outback Bowl.
Greene, who sat out the 2007 season because of academic
problems, ran for more than 100 yards in all 13 of Iowa's games and
scored in all but one. He finished with school single-season
records of 1,850 yards and 20 TDs.
The 235-pound junior from Sicklerville, N.J., said this week
that he plans to meet with his family and consider information from
the NFL college advisory committee before making a decision this
month on whether to turn pro.
Iowa (9-4) won for the sixth time in seven games since losing
three straight to fall to 3-3. South Carolina (7-6) lost three
straight down the stretch while being outscored 118-30.
