Houston 34, Southern Mississippi 20

HOUSTON (AP) -- Kevin Kolb threw two touchdown passes to Biren Ealy and ran for another score to lead Houston to a 34-20 win over Southern Mississippi in the Conference USA championship Friday night.

Kolb completed 19 of 31 passes for 258 yards and became the conference's career passing leader, leapfrogging Louisville quarterback Chris Redman. Kolb, making his 49th career start, has 12,578 passing yards.

Kolb also had a 46-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that gave the Cougars the lead for good.

Kolb's two TD passes moved him into second place on the league's career list, two behind Redman's record of 84.

Vincent Marshall, Houston's career receiving leader, caught eight passes for 100 yards and had a touchdown run on a lateral for the Cougars (10-3), who won their first Conference USA title since 1996, the league's inaugural season.
