(AP) -- SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- North Carolina parlayed a dominating first half into a 24-14 victory against South Carolina in the 73rd annual Shrine Bowl football game at Woffords Gibbs Stadium Saturday.

Fumbles by South Carolina led the Tarheels to two touchdowns and a field goal. The first break came when North Carolinas Christopher Smith raced 67 yards with a fumble. Kasey Redfern kicked the point with three seconds left in the first period.

Redfern tacked on a 40-yard field goal and the Tar Heels concluded the first half surge with a five-yard scoring burst to go 17-0 with a minute to play in the half.

South Carolina began a second half rally on a pair of Marcus Lattimore 1-yard touchdown bursts in the third and fourth periods. But Keenan Allen sprinted the distance for a touchdown to clinch the Tarheel victory.
