Cougars sputter in second half, still beat defending AAC champs

The Cougars made a bold move at quarterback Saturday, and it paid off as they defeated the defending American Athletic Conference champions, the Temple Owls, 20-13 on the road.

Senior quarterback Kyle Postma made the most of his first start of the season and showed exactly why the Cougars needed to make the switch at QB. Postma looked comfortable in the air and on the ground, extending plays when he could during the first half. Meanwhile, the Cougars’ 18th-best defense in the country handled the Owls and closed out the game for a win.

“I’ve been out for a while, but it feels good to get back in the swing of things,” Postma said after the game.
