PHILADELPHIA - Army utilized its famed triple option running attack to march up and down the field to upset the Temple Owls, 28-13, in the season opener for both teams Friday night in front of 34,005 fans at Lincoln Financial Field. The Black Knights accumulated 329 rushing yards on 67 carries with fullback Andy Davidson leading the way with 121 yards and two TDs.
Temple struggled throughout the game to find any offensive rhythm, with the defense unable to slow down the Army ground game. The Army offense controlled the line-of-scrimmage and dominated the time-of-possession in both halves.
