Temple dominates Howard 55-7 in Week 2 blowout
Temple overwhelmed Howard 55-7 in Week 2 action, with the Owls controlling the game from start to finish. Temple jumped out to a 21-0 first-quarter lead and never looked back, outscoring Howard in every quarter.
Gevani McCoy led Temple's offense through the air with 57 passing yards, while Bryson Goodwin paced the ground game with 9 rushing yards. The Owls' defense was stifling, limiting Howard's offensive output throughout the contest.
Howard's lone touchdown came in the second quarter. Zaden Jackson led the Bison receiving corps with 9 receptions. Despite some defensive bright spots, including plays in the second quarter, Howard couldn't generate sustained offensive momentum.
Temple's fourth-quarter drive featured a 65-yard touchdown run by Hunter Smith, exemplifying the home team's dominance. The victory was dominant enough that Temple covered the 28-point spread. The contest exceeded the over-under of 47 points, finishing well above that total.
