Wow, a 9 point penalty against Temple!

Temple was punting out of the endzone, one of the back blockers held a SMU defender in the endzone, which is apparently an automatic safety. (Is that a new rule?) On the free kick, the SMU kick returner runs it back for a touchdown. That was a costly penalty!

Any penalty committed by the offense in the end zone is a safety

holding, intentional grounding, etc.... all safety.

I bet temple -13 and got the break of a lifetime. Temple would've ended the game with a first down with under 2 minutes left and walker ended up running for a long TD to go up by 11. For some reason Rhule decided to go for 2 and they got it to go up 13. On the next drive SMU threw a pick 6 to lose by 20.

Rhule took Temple -13 too.
 
The owls will win the Lambert Trophy.
.Have they ever won it?

Walker looked really good. Of course it was SMU's defense, but he made some nice throws and did a lot of damage by running with the ball.
 
Nope, that would be their first. Agree with the previous poster, Walker looked very good. I actually like Mack Brown as a commentator.

On paper, beating a one win SMU team was no big deal, but that was a real trap game after playing Notre Dame. Surprise Spare130 you bet that game, I would have stayed away or bet SMU.
 
These standings say a lot about Eastern football this year. At 3-6 Rutgers is 5th behind Buffalo with Cuse, BC, Army, UConn really bad.
 

Not for nothing, but the Owls have played FOUR home games thus far this season....and two of them were vs. teams named Notre Dame and Penn St. Those two have been known to attract college football fans in the area. And you know that's why that average is so high. Without PSU and ND, Temple will average less than UConn for home games....probably less than Tulane.

Hard to say that. We had 35000 for homecoming against Tulane and 31000 for UCF. Believe me, the entire lower bowl was filled for Tulane. I think we stand a good chance at having a 30k+ crowd for Memphis. UConn is the one I'm most interested in seeing how we turn out being its on Thanksgiving weekend.
