It was a historic day for the Temple Owls as they became bowl eligible for the fourth consecutive season with the 43-22 win over Tulsa on Saturday.
Temple’s seniors finished their playing careers by becoming the winningest class in school history with 32 wins. The 2011 class previously held the record with 31 wins. The class accomplished plenty of feats in their four seasons in Philadelphia. They gave Temple its first American Athletic Conference Championship, back-to-back 10-win seasons and will be the only group to play in three bowl games.
It was a total team effort for the Owls as Frank Nutile threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns - all to a senior wide receiver - running backs David Hood and Ryquell Armstead each had a rushing touchdown and the defense forced three turnovers.
