The University of South Carolina's Steve Spurrier and Sterling Sharpe carded a 12-under-par 60 to earn a five-stroke victory in the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl Alma Mater at Reynolds Plantation and the $100,000 first-place scholarship donation.

The team from UCLA and last year's winners, Virginia Tech, tied for second with a seven-under 65.
