Team East crushed Team West 55-17 on Saturday to win the Army All-American Bowl from San Antonio's Alamodome.

UCLA quarterback commit Dante Moore was named the MVP thanks to three first-half touchdowns. The 5-star prospect clearly looked like the best prospect on the field on this day.

Uh…Dante Moore is just torching the best players in the nation today. Finds Carnell Tate on this beauty, side-armed, falling away from his target. 3rd TD of the day 🔥🔥🔥 <a href="https://t.co/CZaRsDCm4s">pic.twitter.com/CZaRsDCm4s</a>

UCLA should be pretty happy with what they are getting in Dante Moore. Love his skillset and temperament that he showed all week.

Dante Moore is doing a heck of a job slinging the ball around.

Dante Moore is one helluva QB. Exactly the kind of guy Chip loves leading his offense.

Mike Roach @MikeRoach247
That's an absolute dime from Dante Moore to Carnell Tate.

There were more big plays on both sides, though, courtesy of 4-star running back/Miami commit Mark Fletcher Jr. and 4-star quarterback/Ohio State commit Lincoln Kienholz.
