GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Dwayne Harris returned a kickoff 92
yards for a touchdown and added two touchdown catches to help East
Carolina beat winless Rice 49-13 on Saturday.
Harris matched his career-high with 128 yards receiving for the
Pirates (4-3, 3-1 Conference USA), while Rob Kass - a former
starting quarterback who moved to tight end - had his first career
scoring catch to help East Carolina to a relatively stress-free
win. The Pirates led 21-3 by midway through the second quarter and
never let the Owls (0-7, 0-3) make it closer than a two-possession
game before blowing it open late.
It was another big performance from Harris, a junior receiver
who has become the Pirates' big-play threat. Last week, he had a
77-yard kickoff return for a score and a rushing touchdown in a
loss at SMU, and has scored seven touchdowns in the past four
games.
