Former Arkansas quarterback Feleipe Franks led a pair of scoring drives and helped the National team defeat the American team 27-24 Saturday at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
Franks, who played the entire second and fourth quarters, completed 9 of 16 passes for 122 yards. He threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kenny Yeboah of Ole Miss with 11:57 remaining to give the National team a 27-16 lead.
Yeboah’s catch was the game-winning score after the American team scored a touchdown in the final minute to cut the lead to three points.
Franks’ touchdown to Yeboah was set up by another long completion a play earlier when Franks threw 29 yards to Louisville’s Dez Fitzpatrick on third-and-3.
