BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) --- Katin Houser accounted for four touchdowns in East

one on a 27-yard pass to Dessirio Riles and a 22-yard completion to Brock

Houser rushed for a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter, and defensive

career rush.

Gunn Jr. had 130 rushing yards on 14 attempts, and Riles led all receivers with
87 yards.

setting the single-season program record for total offense for the Owls (4-7,
3-4). He entered the day second in FBS football with 3,465 passing yards.
Zach Gibson relieved Veltkamp late in the third quarter. He completed 12 of 20
passes for 116 yards with an interception. Garrison Smith's 33-yard field goal
in the first quarter was the lone score for the Owls.
