LAS VEGAS - UNLV's 2000 tailback tandem of Jeremi Rudolph and Kevin Brown both enjoyed a victory in their respective postseason all-star games Saturday.

Rudolph, the first 1,000-yard rusher for the school since Ickey Woods in 1987 suited up for Team Florida in the Florida Gridiron Classic played at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. The native of Apopka, Fla., ran the ball eight times for 28 yards and had a reception for 20 yards in helping his team to a 10-0 victory over Team USA.

On the other side of the country, Brown played for the West Team in the East-West Shrine Classic played at Pac Bell Stadium in San Francisco. The former Washington State star, who ran for 788 yards for the Rebels during the regular season this fall, got eight carries for a total of 28 yards. Coached by Texas head man Mack Brown, the West won the game 20-10.
