ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Marvin Kloss made the short trip from the University of South Florida and kicked his way to an MVP award.

Kloss made four field goals to help the East beat the West 19-3 on Saturday in the 90th East-West Shrine Classic.

“I was hoping to get some opportunities to kind of showcase my skill,” Kloss said. “I’ve been blessed to have four field goals. It’s a big day for me.”

Dominique Brown of Louisville added a 1-yard touchdown run in the final minute.

Former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga defensive lineman Derrick Lott finished with three tackles, an assist and two tackles for loss. His first tackle came on a kickoff return and he ended the first half with his second tackle for loss. As he jumped to his feet after his first tackle in the West team’s backfield, Lott pointed to the power “C” on his helmet and raised his arms. His first-half play drew praise from NFL Network commentators.
