STARS OF THE GAME
Oregon State - Matt Moore, senior quarterback, Valencia, Calif. Moore was named by CBS as winner of the game's most valuable player award, completing 31-of-54 passes for 356 yards and four touchdowns, with one interception. The four touchdown passes set a Sun Bowl record, breaking the mark of three, set in 1946 and tied eight times.
Missouri - Tony Temple, junior tailback, Kansas City, Mo. Temple rushed for 194 yards on 20 carries with two touchdowns, second-most yards in Sun Bowl history, eclipsed only by Charles Alexander of LSU, who rushed for 197 yards on 31 carries in 1997; Temple had the record momentarily, but was thrown for a four-yard loss on his last carry.
