PHILADELPHIA – Senior Night is always special, but Saturday night was spectacular for the 22 seniors playing their final home Temple Football game. These Owls helped their team post a dominating 27-3 win over visiting UConn at Lincoln Financial Field.
The win clinched the American Athletic Conference East Division title and secured the Owls (10-2, 7-1) a spot in the inaugural Conference Championship game at West Division winner Houston (10-2, 7-1). It was also the 10th win of the season, a new regular season record for wins in a season and tying the overall school-record set by the 1979 Cherry and White squad.
