CARSON, Calif. (AP) Andrew Baggett of Missouri kicked six field goals, including a 22-yarder early in the fourth quarter to lift the National team to an 18-17 victory over the American in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on Saturday.

Baggett's game-winner with 13:48 remaining came three plays after Kyle Kragen of California recovered Travis Wilson's fumble on the American 10-yard line. For Kragen, it was his third sack of the game.

Baggett, who kicked four years at Missouri and finished just eight points shy of the school scoring record, also connected from 36, 50, 42, 39 and 24 yards before kicking the winner. He missed a 54-yard attempt.

Stephen Rivers, the younger brother of San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers, threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jayden Mickens of Washington with 2:31 left in the first half, giving the American team a 17-6 lead. Rivers, who threw for 1,394 yards and nine touchdowns at Northwestern State in 2015, completed 11 of 14 passes for 97 yards and the TD.

TCU's Trevor Boykin, suspended from the Horned Frogs' Alamo Bowl appearance after being arrested because of a bar fight, completed 1 of 3 passes with an interception, playing in the first quarter.

San Jose State's Jacobi Green scored the game's first touchdown on a 3-yard run, giving American a 10-0 lead with 6:00 left in the first quarter.

Ammon Olsen of Southern Utah completed 7-of-13 passes for 71 yards as the National's leading passer.

Travis Calton Greene of Georgia Southern was the game's leading rusher with 53 yards on 13 carries.

Max McCaffery of Duke, brother of Christian McCaffery and son of former NFL wide receiver Ed McCaffrey, caught 2 passes for 29 yards.

Zach Matics of Appalachian State kicked a 36-yard field goal to open the scoring for American.

For the second year in a row, the National team was coached by former St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz, and the American team by former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren.
