Skyler Howard celebrated his Tokyo Dome debut with the MVP-winning performance that guided the Obic Seagulls to back-to-back Pearl Bowl championships.
Howard, a former West Virginia quarterback, threw two touchdown passes in his first appearance at Tokyo Dome to help the Seagulls beat the IBM BigBlue 28-2 on Thursday.
"I feel good about the way to cap off the spring season, but it is just the fourth game (for the current team) and we're looking forward to the fifth game, which is our next step," Howard said. "This Pearl Bowl (final) just happened to be the fourth game and we executed well. I feel we left a lot down on the table. I'm just excited to work with my teammates in summer."
