The 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl was a postseason bowl game between the college football teams South Carolina Gamecocks and Connecticut Huskies on January 2, 2010, at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama; it ended in a 20–7 victory for Connecticut. Both teams had a 7–5 regular season record. Connecticut's tumultuous season had seen a victory at Notre Dame, and the murder of Jasper Howard, their cornerback. Connecticut scored twice in the first quarter: on a one-handed 37-yard touchdown reception by wide receiver Kashif Moore and then on a 33-yard field goal after South Carolina failed to convert a fourth-down play at its 32-yard line.

Dixon was named player of the game, and finished with 126 rushing yards and one touchdown. (Full article...)
