Two stops in goal-to-go situations by the Temple Owls defense was the difference as Rod Carey and his squad upset the No. 21 Maryland Terrains, 20-17, at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday.
Maryland forced a three-and-out on a fourth quarter drive and DJ Turner returned the punt 55 yards to the Temple 4-yard line. But the Owls defense stepped up as linebacker Shaun Bradley cruised right through the Maryland offensive line to stop Anthony McFarland on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Bradley had three tackles on the series, including the crucial fourth-down stop.
