It didn't take long for the Boston College-Temple game to evolve into a chess match battle on the field. The Owls opened the game with a nine-play drive that penetrated into Eagle territory, but BC forced a turnover on downs when the offense failed to convert on fourth-and-six at the 36 yard line.
The BC offense in turn produced a classic drive, chunking yards off the Temple offense with pounding attack. AJ Dillon gained 21 yards behind his offensive line, and Anthony Brown connected on a couple of simple passes to get his rhythm going.
