Duke Football: Temple Owls will rely on running game against Blue Devils
The Duke Football team is getting set to take on the Temple Owls and its powerful rushing attack in the Walk-On’s Independence Bowl.
The Temple Owls come into the Walk-On’s Independence Bowl out of the American Athletic Conference and the Owls are 8-4 on the season, which was good enough for second place in the Eastern Division of the AAC.
It was a rather tough start to the year for Temple, losing to Villanova and Buffalo at home, but the Owls quickly gained its footing defeating Maryland on the road and then beating Tulsa.
The Owls were then beaten on the road against Boston College, but won six of its last seven games, the only loss coming on the road to then No. 12 UCF, 52-40.
