The Golden Hurricane drop to 2-5 (0-3 American) on the season while the Owls are now 2-5 (1-2) on the year. Let's take a look at the box score for each team and discuss what happened during this game.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane struggled to move the ball through the air and that ultimately became the difference in this game. Tulsa combined to go 14-of-27 for 165 yards in the passing game and that is not going to get it done most nights. Another significant number that they struggled with was converting on the major downs as the Golden Hurricane was 2-for-11 on third down and failed to convert on both of their fourth down tries.

For Temple, quarterback Evan Simon was able to have a good game under center as they were able to throw for 316 total yards. Even though they were able to secure the victory, they struggled to be disciplined as evident by their 10 penalties for 104 yards.
However, they were able to maintain time of possession as they had the ball for 34:28 in the game and just had some long-lasting drives to ensure the victory. They only scored three points in the second half so maintaining time of possession was critical. Below is the scoring summary from this game to see how the points came about.
