TULSA, Okla. — Evan Simon threw his 21st touchdown of the season in overtime — and still hasn’t thrown an interception all year — as Temple outlasted Tulsa 38–37 on Saturday.
Simon was masterful once again, completing 24 of 35 passes for 267 yards and five touchdowns. He connected three times with Kajiya Hollawayne, including the 1-yard strike in overtime that proved decisive, and twice with Jay Ducker.
Temple (5–3, 3–1 American) balanced Simon’s precision with 180 rushing yards, led by Hunter Smith’s 92 yards on just 10 carries, including a 72-yard dash that flipped field position early.
