There were no Elvis Presley sightings at the 40th annual Liberty Bowl. However, the King who did make an appearance put on quite a show.

Tulane quarterback Shaun King, who threw for 276 yards and ran for 109 more, earned most valuable players honors as the 10th-ranked Green Wave blasted BYU 41-27. The senior spearheaded an attack that produced 528 yards of total offense against the nation’s fifth-ranked defense.
