Temple approaches critical meeting against Houston with new confidence
Temple needs to win out to make a bowl game for the first time since 2019. The Owls beat South Florida and SMU, but they still have to beat Houston. Houston's high-powered offense makes them 19.5-point favorites. They lost to SMu last week. Temple's defensive front is the X factor against Houston, which is struggling. The all-time series is 7-1. It was a 37-8 victory for Houston in 2021 at Lincoln Financial Field.
