Ryquell Armstead rushed for 171 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, but the Temple Owls defense could not contain the running game of the Boston College Eagles in the 45-35 loss.
The combination of AJ Dillon and Ben Glines racked up 281 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, while Anthony Brown threw for two touchdowns and caught another in the first meeting of the former Big East members since the 2004 season.
All three quarterbacks were on the field for the first play of the game for Temple, but it was Anthony Russo who got the majority of the snaps under center.
