(W at SMU 60-40). Previous: 6th. Temple Owls. 3. team. 2399. <p>Temple is back in the hunt for number one following a close loss to Notre Dame. While the defense is probably not happy with giving up 40 points, the 20-point win should be pretty satisfying. If the Owls finish the regular season strong, they’ll play in the conference title game, most likely against Houston.</p>
<p>The Owls had a good night offensively, led by quarterback P.J. Walker’s five total touchdowns. Jager Gardner had a 94-yard touchdown run early in the game and gave Temple some momentum. Temple scored 22 points in the fourth quarter and SMU scored 16, totaling 38 between the two.</p>
<p>Temple faces USF on the road this Saturday.</p>
