Temple Owls Clash with Buffalo Bulls at Lincoln Financial Field in Football Showdown

As the Temple Owls prepare to host the Buffalo Bulls at Lincoln Financial Field, fans are anticipating an intense matchup. The Owls have shown a mixed performance in their recent outings, and as they return to their home turf, they'll be looking to leverage that familiarity into a win.

In their last game against the Villanova Wildcats, the Owls fell just short with a final score of 19-17. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways for Temple. Their defense managed two sacks and one interception, showing signs of resilience that could prove crucial against Buffalo. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up two interceptions which could be an area of concern.

The offense had moments of efficiency but struggled overall with only 46 rushing yards from 22 attempts – averaging just over two yards per carry. Passing was more effective; despite two interceptions thrown by Temple's quarterback, he completed nearly 58 percent of his passes for one touchdown and provided ten first downs through the air.

Special teams contributed notably with a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown – these types of plays can often swing momentum in close games.

At Lincoln Financial Field – known for its passionate fan base and energetic atmosphere – the Owls will need to capitalize on every opportunity. The venue has been kind to them before and could provide that extra push needed when facing off against formidable opponents like Buffalo.

As we look ahead to game day on September 8th at 7:30 PM (local time), fans can catch all the action on ESPN CE. The Owls will need strong performances across all three phases – offense, defense, and special teams – if they hope to secure victory in front of their home crowd at Philadelphia's iconic stadium.
