PHILADELPHIA - Despite admirable performances on both sides of the ball, Temple came up short in a comeback bid against division rival UConn, falling 28-24 Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field. The Owls' defense competed particularly well, forcing two turnovers and slowing down the potent UConn passing attack throughout the game. Redshirt sophomore LB Chappelle Russell led the unit with 12 tackles, one for loss, while fellow junior S Delvon Randall picked up five tackles with one interception.
