PHILADELPHIA – Temple (3-7, 1-5) dropped its seventh game of the season on Saturday afternoon, falling to the Houston Cougars (9-1, 7-0), 37-8. The Owls trailed 10-0 going into halftime, playing through wet conditions throughout much of the first three quarters. A Temple touchdown early in the fourth quarter cut the deficit to two scores which gave the Owls hope for a comeback, but two Houston touchdowns shortly after put the game out of reach.
