This Week
#25 Temple travels to Houston to face the Cougars in the inaugural American Athletic Conference championship game. The Owls made it after defeating UConn 27-3 on Senior Day at Lincoln Financial Field while Houston beat Navy 52-31 for the right to host the game. This will be the first time Temple plays for a conference championship.
Temple won the East Division with a 7-1 conference record and did so with a strong, balanced offense. Junior quarterback P.J. Walker has surpassed 2,000 yards for the third consecutive season and junior running back Jahad Thomas earned his first 1,000-yard season on the ground.
