Wright caught an 8-yard scoring strike from Houser to make it 21-0 going into the second quarter.

Owls starting quarterback Cam Fancher left the game with an apparent shoulder injury in the second quarter and did not return.

Weisman led a 14-play, 91-yard drive that came to an end when Gavin Gibson intercepted a pass in the end zone.
