PHILADELPHIA — Evan Simon threw three first-half touchdown passes and Temple dominated from start to finish in a 55-7 rout of Howard on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Owls (2-0) opened with three straight touchdown drives and never looked back. Terrez Worthy capped the first possession with a 13-yard scoring run, then Simon connected with Jojo Bermudez from 24 yards and Colin Chase from 8 to make it 21-0 after one quarter. Simon later found Kajiya Hollawayne for a 4-yard touchdown, part of a near-perfect 8-of-10 passing day for 174 yards and three scores.

Jay Ducker rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown, while Harold Smith broke free for a 65-yard score in the fourth quarter.
