In a Week 2 showdown under the lights at SHI stadium, the Scarlet Knights host a familiar foe in the Temple Owls. This is the third year in a row that these two teams face off. It was a 61-14 win for Rutgers in 2021 and 16-14 in 2022. To get a better idea of what to expect from this years version of the Owls, let’s take a look the Week 1 game between Temple and Akron.
The game started off slow for the Temple Owls. On the first drive of the game, the Owls let up a long 77-yard play action pass for a touchdown to Akron running back Lorenzo Lingard.
