The X League champion was simply too much for the collegiate side ¡ª again.

Trashaun Nixson rushed for 206 yards and two touchdowns and earned game MVP honors, while Michael Birdsong threw two scoring passes, leading the Fujitsu Frontiers to a 52-17 rout of the Kwansei Gakuin University Fighters on Thursday at Tokyo Dome in the annual Rice Bowl.

The triumph gave the Frontiers, who clinched their third straight X League title last month, a third consecutive Rice Bowl triumph and fourth overall.
