Philadelphia: There is a certain feel when you get to play infront of the home fans for the 1^st time this season & that is what we are going to see with the Temple Owls under new Head Coach KC Keeler as they would do battle with the Howard Bison from Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia, The game would be delayed for 30 minutes due to thunderstrom warning. This is the first time that Temple is playing Howard since 1991, when they shut out Howard 40-0 at Veterans Stadium

How the game went:

Temple would take their opening drive for a Touchdown of a 13-yard run by Terrez Worthy for the early lead

The Defense of the Owls would be making nose & then the offense would take over as QB Evan Simon connected with Jojo Burmedez for the 14-0 lead, then it would be 21-0 at the end of the 1st quarter & Howard looked lost and confused. The Bison would get on the board with a touchdown in an attempt to stop whatever momentum the Owls had, the Owls would respond with FG for a 24-7 lead & would take a 31-7 lead into halftime on this touchdown
