In an intense game of American football, the Temple Owls showcased moments of offensive strength but ultimately fell short against the formidable Knights.

Despite four interceptions thrown by the Owls' quarterback, they managed to achieve a completion percentage of 40 percent from 42 attempts.
The rushing offense provided a glimmer of hope for the Temple fans as they amassed 196 yards over 35 attempts, averaging about six yards per carry.

On special teams, two field goals were successfully made out of three attempts for Temple with one sailing through from beyond 39 yards. The kicking unit also contributed one extra point after touchdown without fail.
Defensively speaking, while no interceptions were recorded by Temple's defense throughout four quarters of play; they did manage to sack opposing quarterbacks twice for a loss totaling sixteen yards. This defensive effort was part of thirteen tackles for loss that disrupted some momentum from their opponents.
Despite these individual moments that sparked enthusiasm among fans at Lincoln Financial Field; penalties played a role in hindering progress as well – six infractions set them back by fifty-seven yards overall during this contest.
