ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Phillip Walker threw two touchdown passes as the Owls claimed their first American Athletic Conference title with a 34-10 victory Saturday.
After Temple (10-3) scored touchdowns on its first three possessions, protecting the 21-0 lead became substantially easier when No. 19 Navy (9-3, No. 19 AP) lost standout quarterback Will Worth to a second-quarter ankle injury.
This time, the Owls dominated from the outset. Not only did Temple open with TD drives of 75, 59 and 70 yards, but the defense quashed a Navy attack that had averaged 61 points over its previous three games.
