Davis, Stifling Defense Leads Football to 24-2 Win over Georgia Tech

PHILADELPHIA – Temple used a big play defense and two touchdowns from freshman Re'Mahn Davis to defeat visiting Georgia Tech, 24-2, Saturday in front of 31,094 at Lincoln Financial Field. Davis, who had 135 yards on 29 carries, became the first true Temple freshman running back to rush for over 100 yards since his teammate, senior Jager Gardner, accomplished the feat in 2015.

The Owls improve to 3-1 on the season while the Yellow Jackets, under the direction of Temple's former coach Geoff Collins, falls to 1-3.
