BOISE, Idaho - Da'Rel Scott got out of the doghouse in time to run over Nevada.

Benched for 2 1/2 quarters after breaking curfew, Scott ran for 174 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns in 14 carries and Maryland held off the Wolf Pack 42-35 in the Humanitarian Bowl on Tuesday.

Scott's 49-yard touchdown sprint early in the fourth quarter broke a 28-all tie and his 2-yard TD gallop but the Terps up 14 points.

Scott was one of seven Terrapins benched for curfew violations. He didn't get to play on the famous blue turf here until early in the third quarter and didn't touch the ball until the 5:55 mark of the third.

He became the seventh running back in Maryland (8-5) history to top 1,000 yards for the season.

AUBURN: Defensive lineman Sen'Derrick Marks says he will skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

NEW MEXICO STATE: UCLA defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker was hired as the school's new coach.

Walker replaces Hal Mumme and becomes the eighth black head coach at the 119 major college football schools, and fourth hired this month.

SOUTH FLORIDA: The Bulls have signed defensive lineman Anthony Hill (6-foot-4, 290 pounds), who signed with Florida State but never enrolled there before the 2008 season.

Hill was a three-star player coming out of Pensacola High, according to Rivals.com and Scout.com. He will join the team at the start of the spring semester and be eligible to play next season.
