The Owls have suffered three straight losses
Temple’s losing streak extended to three games after Friday night’s 27-16 loss to Tulsa
The Owls were without three starters and running back Jakari Norwood for the game. Tight end Jordan Smith returned along with offensive linemen Bryce Thoman and James Faminu. Thoman’s return was especially welcomed as Temple lost Faminu and graduate center Adam Klein to injury in the second half. Temple has struggled to stop fast-paced offenses all season, especially so in last Thursday’s 70-13 loss at UCF. After going up 10-0 on Tulsa, Temple fell victim to the no-huddle offense and gave up 14 unanswered points entering the half. From then on, the Golden Hurricane kept that tempo and rode the coattails of running backs Steven Anderson and Deneric Prince — whose 84-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run was the fourth-longest run in the program’s history.
