Temple needs to win at least four of its next seven games to achieve bowl-eligible status, but coach Geoff Collins said teams ‘fall apart’ when they start weighing importances of games.
Houston sophomore defensive tackle Ed Oliver, ranked as a top-25 player in college before the season, will face the Owls on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.
Temple’s offense took control to help lead the Owls to a 48-20 victory against the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.
Added to the lease while the university evaluates the feasibility of an on-campus stadium, the two consecutive one-year options mean the Owls could play at Lincoln Financial Field in 2018 and 2019.
