GREENVILLE, N.C. -- P.J. Walker threw a late 23-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson, and No. 22 Temple rallied to beat East Carolina 24-14 on Thursday night.
Walker finished 19 of 35 for 250 yards for the Owls (7-0, 4-0 American Athletic Conference). They ensured their first appearance in the Top 25 since 1979 -- and the best start in school history -- will last a little longer.
East Carolina's Blake Kemp was 31 of 48 for 272 yards with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Quay Johnson.
